I mean, why not, but I thought base was supposed to be minimal.
There should be some basic network configuration facility installed by default. I feel that adding both netcfg and iproute to base is the right thing to do, but wireless should be optional. I removed wpa_supplicant because it was incredibly inconsistent to have it, but not netcfg. Now they switched roles. I am fine with add wpa_supplicant, iw and crda to base if we really want wireless support installed by default.
