This patch has been derived from https://gitorious.org/picopc-android-gingerbread/external-wpa_supplicant_6/commit/5f5c50d722eedaedd75c1698b79f464310ce6478?format=patch .
The change to wpa_supplicant was necessary because android uses a modified wpa_supplicant and wext calls implemented actually uses IOCTL "SIOCSIWPRIV" which is not implemented in the standard wifi drivers.The patch is a workaround to get wifi working on panda .I have tested the change and works on panda BUT I am not sure if the devices using the original implementation still work.
