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.
