You have answered Question 3 to Question 4. Q4 was meant to be rather like the post following mine from Zach Tibbitts - i.e. could we have a temporary workaround for this situation a) to allow our users to use NM for all connections, and b) so that you guys are not always having to play catch-up with what is happening in wpa-supplicant? Is it worth me saying to the user: when connecting to uni network (i.e. one requiring unsupported modes), select "no Network" in NM and then run this script? Or will that still start two wpa_supplicants?
