I'm using Buildroot and have enabled following options:

BR2_PACKAGE_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y
BR2_PACKAGE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_NL80211=y
BR2_PACKAGE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_AP_SUPPORT=y
BR2_PACKAGE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_WIFI_DISPLAY=y
# BR2_PACKAGE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_AUTOSCAN is not set
BR2_PACKAGE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_EAP=y
BR2_PACKAGE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_HOTSPOT=y
BR2_PACKAGE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_DEBUG_SYSLOG=y
BR2_PACKAGE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_WPS=y
BR2_PACKAGE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_CLI=y
BR2_PACKAGE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_WPA_CLIENT_SO=y
BR2_PACKAGE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_PASSPHRASE=y

To enable MESH in wpa_supplicant I've made following hack:

diff --git a/package/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.mk
b/package/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.mk
index 3c3317b..debad0f 100644

 WPA_SUPPLICANT_CONFIG_ENABLE = \

Can it be, that I need to enable some more options?
