You will have to add the according sub-packages to the mac80211 packaging (the easier approach of statically compiling in a wireless driver often doesn't work), it's available in its source but not packaged up. Once you have the kernel modules, you probably have to investigate (and integrate into the build/ firstboot processes) how to enable it (board files, calibration data, MAC addresses, etc.).
