Eelco Dolstra d75fa1fdc1 wpa_supplicant: Use the nl80211 and wext drivers by default
This should make wpa_supplicant work out of the box on newer and older
kernels.

Allow normal users to control wpa_supplicant through wpa_gui or wpa_cli.
This is useful for laptop users that switch networks a lot.
When you want to use this, make sure ${configFile} doesn't exist.
It will be created for you.
Currently it is also necessary to explicitly specify networking.wireless.interfaces.
