Description:

   The following bugs are fixed by this update:
   - #625403: Fixed wireless hardware to wext/nl80211 WPA
   driver mapping and changed to use -Dnl80211,wext by
   default for untested drivers to let the wpa_supplicant
   fallback to wext when nl80211 is not available and avoid
   failures with non-mac80211 based hardware drivers.
   Adjusted info message about untested drivers and enabled
   untested driver handling also in case wpa_supplicant is
   not required but the user prefers to use it. Fixes also
   bugs #623340,#623676,#624182,#631283.
   - #616765: Fixed check whether ipv6 is enabled or not in
   /sbin/ifup-dhcp to avoid dhcpv6 client start in case the
   interface is configured to start both, dhcpv4 and dhcpv6
   clients.
