Because it is needed to support mac80211 based drivers (works with anything but
intel right now, intel support is missing on the driver side).

where 0.6.9 only supports older drivers or out of tree stuff like madwifi.

The patches are for supporting EAP-FAST, they need to be applied to openssl and
so this is out of the scope of this review.

OK, will change that.

Will remove.

OK, will add it.
