I consider this a bug and not a complaint, because I don't think there
should be a difference between calling iwconfig and wpa_supplicant
on the command line and calling them using the interface stanza extensions.
The get along great outside of the if-pre-up.d scripts.
Since there is a difference, I thought that there is some incompatiblity between
the two when they should actually work together.
Finally, no where does it say (in the docs perhaps), that using the
wireless-* extensions will prevent a wpa_supplicant connections using the
wpa-* extensions. Noting the incompatibity between the two stanza
extensions would have saved me (and hopefully others) the hours I
spent finding the incompatiblity.
