[PATCH] fff-hoods: manually create wifi station interface

[Fabian Bläse]

The mac80211 interface script in OpenWrt depends on wpa_supplicant
for the creation of station interfaces. While this is conveniant, it
isn't strictly necessary for connecting to unencrypted networks.

To be able to create station interfaces if wpa_supplicant is removed,
the station interface for obtaining the initial configuration is now
created using iw commands only.

This makes it possible to replace wpad-mini with hostapd-mini, which
does not include wpa_supplicant and therefore shrinks the uncompressed
binary by around 200KiB.
