Well, yes, modifying the initscripts (or something else; I'm not
completely sure where umask is set) would likely be the cleanest way of
doing this. That said, it is not exactly convenient to get all the
possible places modified, so I ended up giving up with the cleanest fix
from hostap.git view point and pushed this into wpa_supplicant (and now
into hostapd with this commit). And yes, this needs to work also with
existing Android releases.
