In that gentoo link, once you get past the introduction into the bits about editing /etc/conf.d/net that's OpenRC's network configuration format, so won't be directly applicable. It was more about showing the tools available. I'm not familiar with how buildroot does things, or whether it depends on which init you pick. It seems odd that the wireless tools aren't recognising the device. It's possible there's a step I'm not aware of because the OS versions I've tried are all doing it in the background.
