So, I'm digging into all of this.

First, I noticed that you need 'osu_dir' in the supplicant config file,
but it is not documented yet.  I'll send a patch when I understand this
better if no one beats me to it.

And if someone could indulge me, I have what is probably a basic
question:

I notice that I can use the 'wpa_cli -i sta0 fetch_osu'
command, and it will get some information and icons using ANQP/GAS and place them in
the configured directory.

But, nothing calls this automatically as far as I can tell.

So, what is the expected behaviour and/or interaction with wpa_supplicant
to get the OSU icons and information.  Is that something the osu client
is supposed to initiate?

I assume after I have icons and info, I can then start doing more of the
clever stuff to actually authenticate with one of the 'icons'.

Thanks,
Ben
