Here are some other ways to find a package:
- the manual contains a list of all packages:
http://buildroot.uclibc.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#package-list
- in the menuconfig, you can search by typing a slash (/) followed by
your query. It will show you for each match the location in the menu
structure, and any dependencies it may have.
