This allowed wpa_supplicant to run from init.rc, enabling the UI inside of android. Good news is the driver seems to work on CM11 with just a few tweaks, and it seems to work on the Motorola phones as well.

In some drivers this is called wifi "multi-role" I believe? Does it still seem feasible the firmware will support simultaneous connections to an AP and another phone?
