IWEVCUSTOM is the wrong way of doing this. However, the problem here is
that IWEVASSOCREQIE and IWEVASSOCRESPIE can trigger wpa_supplicant to
behave incorrectly in 64-bit kernel, 32-bit userspace case (64/64 and
32/32 work fine). This is worked around in the current 0.6.x devel
branch, but not in any of the released versions.
