 So, we are now almost 7 years later!
 My how time flys.
 
 Since then, upstream rejected the initial patches.
 However, I have been pushing all NetBSD patches upstream, so far they
 are being accepted. Our man page now reflects reality with the installed
 program.
 
 I have a new patch (singular now) which adds similar functionality which
 I will again try to push upstream once the others are accepted.
 The patch can be found here:
 http://www.netbsd.org/~roy/wpa_supplicant-match-iface.patch
 
 Invoke it like so
 
 wpa_supplicant -B -M -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
 
 You can match on a specific name like so
 
 wpa_supplicant -B -M -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i"iwn*"
 
 AND even give it a driver
 
 wpa_supplicant -B -M -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i"bge*" -Dwired
 
 OR do both
 
 wpa_supplicant -B -M -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i"bge*" -Dwired \
 	-M -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i"iwn*"
