Is there a configuration option for compiling the kernel and all the
modules with a different version of Wireless Extension? How have you
done this, you said "This is a simple mismatch and the kernel team can
easily solve this by recompiling the kernel. I already did that on my
system and it works." I want to do it in the same way. Does it require
to patch in an older version of Wireless Extension into the kernel
source or is that parameterizable?

After having reviewed lots of code yesterday (libiw, wpa_ctrl of
NetworkManager) I am still not convinced this will help, i want to see
the fix for the kernel. I also have tried to install a newer upstream
version of wpa_supplicant, but this doesn't help either. I also replaced
libiw.so.28 by copying libiw.so.29 over it (i have not recompiled
NetworkManager against it), nothing broke, but connecting to a hidden
network didn't work.

I also found another version mismatch, but this time it's only
cosmetics. It is wpa_supplicant #126510
