It's not as bad as it look like. All userspace programs
nowadays use either the iwlib or wpa_supplicant. For example,
NetworkManager gets its stuff through wpa_supplicant, and kdenetwork
uses iwlib. So, in essence, there is only two places to fix.
Which is why I would like to hear from Jouni.
By the way, I've just released version 29.pre16 which has a
better band aid. It fixes bugs of the previous version and is more
forward compatible (i.e. it's compatible with option 2).
Have fun...
Jean
