Hi Alex, I've committed your patches. The only modification I made was to remove README.D* files from the local modifications removal. These files don't exist on the vendor branch, so they aren't locally modified. Instead I just applied a diff rather than deleting and reading them. If you are feeling confident, feel free to tackle the WPA supplicant and HostAPD updates! (They have to be done as a pair). Thanks, John
