I've done some brief tests, I'll do more testing probably this week. Ok, I should have
wait and post the patch after more testing. Anyway I need to get it work even on lower
kernel than 3.2 (obviously some features will be missing, but NetworkManager cannot
crash). Upstream is willing to accept simple patches which fixes behaviour on older
kernels.

Not sure if I understand your question. The patch was taken from upstream.

Why 2.6.34-ish? The minimum kernel version in toolchain/toolchain-common.in after
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HEADERS_AT_LEAST_3_0 is 2.6, which is unspecified.

Do you mean to keep BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HEADERS_AT_LEAST_3_7 and mention in "help" lower
versions?
