Currently, nl80211 support is conditionnal with libnl being enabled, using implicit dependencies. This causes problems since it is not obvious and wpa_supplicant without nl80211 isn't what most user expects. If nl80211 isn't enabled, then buildroot only enables the wext driver, which will only work if some deprecated kernel feature isn't left disabled, or if using a outdated out-of-tree linux driver which doesn't use the cfg80211 infrastructure. This makes nl80211 support an explicit option, which "select BR2_PACKAGE_LIBNL" accordingly. To handle upgrades nicely, it would have been nice to have "default y if BR2_PACKAGE_LIBNL", but Kconfig treats this as a circular dependency. So instead, this enables the option by default, which is less worse than not enabling nl80211 when it was previously implicitely enabled.

Enable support for nl80211. This is the current wireless
|
|
API for Linux, supported by all wireless drivers in vanilla
|
|
Linux, but may not be supported by some out-of-tree Linux
|
|
wireless drivers. wpa_supplicant will still fall back to
|
|
using the Wireless Extensions (wext) API with these drivers.
|
|
|
|
If this option is disabled, then only the deprecated wext
|
|
API will be supported, with far less features. Linux may
|
|
supports using wext with modern drivers using a
|
|
compatibility layer, but it must be enabled in the kernel
|
|
configuration.

With this option enabled, wpa_supplicant can act as an
|
|
access point much like hostapd does with a limited feature set.
|
|
This links in parts of hostapd functionality into wpa_supplicant,
|
|
making it bigger but dispensing the need for a separate hostapd
|
|
binary in some applications hence being smaller overall.
