that is funny, when I asked for a global command line switch for
choosing a different driver, the argument was that the application
adding the interface is suppose to do it by itself. Now we can do it in
the service file. Never the less ConnMan got its own switch to choose
which driver will be used. Does help a lot in testing and is way easier
since you don't have to restart wpa_supplicant all the time.
Regards
Marcel
