Introduction to WPA Supplicant
WPA Supplicant is a daemon which allows a wireless card to associate with a network using WEP/WPA/WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i / RSN) networks. The actual daemon (wpa_supplicant) parses a config file which declares networks to scan for and keys to use for authentication. The networks scanned can be referenced by MAC or SSID. If nothing is declared it'll associate with the strongest open network.

Configuration Information
You need to create a .config file based on defconfig in the top-level of the source directory. The README has a lot of good information regarding creating a config.
cd wpa_supplicant && cp defconfig .config && cat >> .config << "EOF" CONFIG_DRIVER_MADWIFI=y CFLAGS += -I/path/to/madwifi/source CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE_DBUS=y EOF
Non-Multilib
Compile the package:
make
Install the package
cp -v wpa_cli wpa_supplicant wpa_passphrase /sbin
If you have D-BUS installed execute the following commands to add the configuration and services files for D-BUS:
cp -v dbus-wpa_supplicant.conf /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ && cp -v dbus-wpa_supplicant.service /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant.service
Multilib
This package does not install any libraries so only one installation is needed.

CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" make &&
cp wpa_cli wpa_supplicant wpa_passphrase /usr/sbin
