You could make it work with any driver wrapper by modifying the driver
and the wrapper, so in that sense, no, nl80211 is not the only option
for this. However, if you are considering of doing something new with
Linux, nl80211 would be a preferred thing to use over wext (or even
worse, some vendor specific mechanisms) at this point.

wpa_supplicant itself supports both. Whether the driver supports one or
the other (or both) depends on the driver/802.11 stack in the kernel.
