Seriously, file an issue on their github. It's their distro and they are responsible for it.

As it is indeed one happy family, I updated the M3 stuff for TLBB towards the same 2013.11 buildroot code as the MX one. This code has been flow back to Corey's branch where he has start supporting the xios on that code.
Without knowing exactly which wifi driver you have troubles with, I suspect you ended up with a M3 board design with a rtl8188EU wifi. The original rtl8188CU within the earlier boxes is discontinued by realtek, but the rtl8188ETV as replacement runs on the same driver so should just work. The 8188EU indeed does not work correctly with the CU driver. It basically only requires you to change the wifi driver within the defconfig file from the 8188CUS to the 8188EU and recompile.

tks again.
Let me start with; How on earth can someone make a patch, but don't know how to compile
Secondly; the 2.6.34.x kernel does not support nl80211. The wifi driver has some >2.6.37 <2.6.39 support if needed, but you really should go up to 2.6.39. As we are using 2.6.34.14 (or 15), patching the driver to nl80211 is not doing you any good.
Actually, we stepped away from the in-xbmc way of configuring the network and instead, implemented the more "normal" linux way using NetworkManager (wext based) and the a bit older NetworkManager xbmc plugin.
Anyway, if it is a ETV, it should just work on the same CUS driver.
