[PATCH 0/2] Fix clobbered wpa conf file symlinks

wpa_supplicant conf file updates do not account for the case where the file is a 
symlink. The use of rename() for atomic-like updates discards the symlink in 
this case. This patch-set fixes the issue by ensuring the link target is
replaced instead of the symbolic link file itself.

Andrew Beltrano (2):
  Add helper function to read file link targets.
  Use wpa conf file link target for writing.
