Network adapter seen like ethernet

Hello Arch Linux community!
I am new at this forum though I have installed Arch over a year.

Now I am having a problem with rtl8723bs SDIO wireless network adapter in my tablet VOYO A1 mini. I am trying to install Arch on that device.

Here are example that I am using to set wireless net.

I am using custom kernel config based on ubuntu's config. I could something needed ....

When wireless driver is loaded I can see a network interface but it seems no PHY device on that (iw list says nothing ).
RFKIll also says nothing.
Here is output of lshw:

*-network DISABLED
       description: Ethernet interface
       physical id: 1
       logical name: wlan0
       serial: 00:e0:4c:66:14:ff
       capabilities: ethernet physical
       configuration: broadcast=yes driver=rtl8723bs multicast=yes

lshw of working adapter on other device:
