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only enables the wext driver, which will only work if some deprecated kernel feature isn't left disabled, or if using a outdated out-of-tree linux driver which doesn't use the cfg80211 infrastructure.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.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
