[Bug 1627031] Re: console-conf crashes with a WiFi which does not support SIOCGIWESSID

[Simon Fels]

@Michael: That sounds like a first attempt to fix this but I guess we
will then miss the ESSID in the UI for those dongles. The problem seems
to be more that the driver does not support the necessary WEXT command
SIOCGIWESSID anymore and just gives you access with nl80211. So we have
two real options to fix this:

1. Force all kernels to have CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT enabled. As this is
the official pi2 kernel we should definitely open a bug there and get it
included in the kernel config.

2. When the WEXT ioctl fails fallback to nl80211 or use nl80211 directly
and fallback to the WEXT ioctl
