Hello Peter,

First of all, thank you for your assistance. It is highly appreciated.

We are using the armv7-a variant, that is not availible on the Buildroot
sources:

HOSTCXX="/usr/bin/g++" silentoldconfig

Further more silabs makes a mess with these releases. You are right that they
did not release a v4 for x86. 

Having the mechanism to protect against ARP broadcast messages (from 5.2.2-v4)
is a  pre for us.

Note that they did not only update the version number, but also the format...
from "wf111-linux-driver-5-2-2-r3-armv7-a.tar.gz"
to:  "wf111-linux-driver_5.2.2-r4_armv7-a.tar.gz" (dots between version and 2x
_)

There are the release notes from Silabs:
Changes: 5.2.2-r4 Compared to 5.2.2-r3
Date: May 21, 2018
Changes
? Added a mechanism to protect against a replayed ARP broadcast message. To
protect against Key Reinstallation Attacks (KRACK)
in a 4-way handshake, it is required to use at least wpa_supplicant v2.6 with
applied patches from https://w1.fi/security/2017-1/.
Limitations
? Same as in 5.2.2.
Known Issues
? Same as in 5.2.2.
