There is no workaround.  Right now the code that references this isn't
actually being used, but in the very, very near term it will be, and it
will be required to use wireless extensions > 19 so that we can support
WPA.

If you really, really want to get it to work, look at the bottom of
NetworkManagerDevice.c and remove the stuff dealing wpa_ie and rsn_ie,
and also the bits of code that reference IW_EV_POINT_OFF (but keep the
'else' clause after the IW_EV_POINT_OFF check).
