It is OK for me to enable both options. I will change it in my next pull request.

Currently, Poky only has libnl2, and recipe name is libnl_2.0.bb, thus I added "libnl" as the wpa_supplicant's DEPENDS.

Something intersting that, though APIs are incompatible between libnl and libnl2, we didn't see build issues except this wpa_supplicant case when upgrading libnl from 1.1 to 2.0. 

Could you list some OE packages which need libnl 1.1 as examples? We can check if we have included them in our current Poky build.

Thanks,
Dongxiao
