Ok got it to work now.
The problem was with the wpa_supplicant utility. I was trying to use the wext driver which had some compatibility issues with the kernel module cfg80211.
Now I rebuilt the wpa_supplicant with the nl80211 driver support and able to connect to the wifi AP.
Learnt a lot about udev/wpa_supplicant/wext/init.d and buildroot in general.
Thanks for the support and direction.
