[Buildroot] How to get wireless networking working on PC x86_64 EFI?

[Noah Cain]

Hi,
I am trying to setup networking on the PC x86_64 EFI configuration, but I
can't seem to get it connecting. Ideally, I want it to connect to the
network specified in wpa_supplicant (which I have installed), but I feel
like I am missing drivers. What packages, drivers, and configuration files
do I need to get wifi working? I am kind of a beginner to this whole
embedded Linux thing, I have never had to do this by myself but I would
like to learn.

It entirely depends on what Wireless hardware/chip you're using, and
since you're not giving any information about this, there is no way
anybody can help you.

Could you give more details ?

Best regards,
