While adding and testing for a new wifi driver, I could notice the sad
state of wifi interface bringup in buildroot, so I tried to have
something simple enough to work on the most common cases.
What problems we had:
* Wrong syntax for wpa_supplicant.conf when using default build
options.
* Lack of a proper ifup/ifdown support to have wpa_supplicant
automatically started.
* Due to this, the recommended way of configuring a wifi via
the "interfaces" file wasn't working at all.
The series adds also a new wifi driver which I tested.
