patch
This patch added the option -C <ctrl> for wpa_supplicant to always create the
control interface.
Users on the mobile devices often need to connect to various WiFi networks.
This usually requires the access to wpa_supplicant control interface.
The control interface socket is only readable by root and wheel:
> # ls -l /var/run/wpa_supplicant/wlan0
> srwxrwx--- 1 root wheel 0 Jul 18 22:19 /var/run/wpa_supplicant/wlan0
One example of the program using the control interface is wpa_supplicant's own
UI: net/wpa_gui port.
