d692a2340c mac80211: always use wpa_supplicant for client connections (patch by Stijn Tintel)
Since client mode in mac80211is unreliable without using wpa_supplicant,
it would be better to enable wpa_supplicant by default.

With this patch, wpa_supplicant will always be used for mac80211-based
drivers in client mode. This will break client mode for images that
don't include wpa_supplicant or wpad, so maybe I need to add a check
somewhere to see if wpa_supplicant is available, and show the user a
warning if he tries client mode without wpa_supplicant. Suggestions on
where to add this check are welcome.

Tested with ath5k in client mode on open and wpa2-psk network, and
tested on my ath9k based AP as well to make sure it doesn't break AP mode.

dc1007a12c compat should not depend on pcmcia or usb remove pcmcia and usb backport form compat.ko If an with usb or pcmcia module not directly included into the image is build all wireless packages depend on usb and pcmcia.
