However, I have no idea how to cummunicate with the wpa_supplicant control interface domain socket. (I will also post this on a wpa_supplicant forum). 


Please take a look at
http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/devel/ctrl_iface_page.html

You can configure rest of the network parameters, but leave out identity
and password in which case, wpa_supplicant will request those when they
are needed (see "Interactive requests" on the page).

Alternatively, you can build the full network configuration using the
control interface (see ADD_NETWORK, SET_NETWORK,
ENABLE_NETWORK/SELECT_NETWORK).
