Currently, wpa_supplicant fails to operate when legacy IP support is
disabled (i.e., the system is built with WITHOUT_INET and the kernel is
configured with nooptions INET). This patch addresses the issue by
enabling wpa_supplicant to run and connect to wireless networks even in
the absence of AF_INET, as long as AF_INET6 is available.
