After de-mangling this patch seems to work.  I haven't done much
testing but this keeps me online for more than a couple of seconds.  I've
undone the line-wrapping, fixed the indentation, and included it below.

The games with *driver probably need some work.  There are choices besides
ndiswrapper and wext.  Probably just make that last line

+			"INTERFACE_ADD %s\t\t%s\t" WPA_SUPPLICANT_CONTROL_SOCKET "\t", iface, nm_device_get_driver(NM_DEVICE(self))

I'll reply with that patch if it works.
