Thanks! I haven't yet had a chance to look at the details, but I'll try
to do that over the weekend. Just a quick note on one of the changes:
it is highly preferred that the driver wrapper API defined in driver.h
remains backwards compatible at source code level (i.e., does not
require changing driver_*.c files).

In other words, the change to set_auth_alg() handler is not desired. The
preferred way of adding new parameters for association is to add a new
field into struct wpa_driver_associate_params that will be passed
associate() handler. This allows adding new parameters without breaking
source level compatibility with driver wrapper implementations.
