The 10_wpa_supplicant hook is not working for me with this version. Here

My posts are under the name hpmachining. It appears that the variable
ifwireless is always 0 now when the hook is run, causing the hook to
exit without running the wpa_supplicant command.
Last commit that works for me:

Also, if I add --disable-privsep to configuration the hook works.
Testing wireless on Linux is hard for me right now - I only have a pinebook with
wireless and the screensaver when it hits is just black and I can't escape from
that without a physical reboot.
Anyway, I think this is fixed here:

I need to try and do a lot of testing on this now, and would appreciate as much
random testing as possible as I changed how the netlink(7) messages are processed.
