Possibly because that particular patch wasn't ever in bugzilla (AFAICT.)
It was, although it contained reindentation cosmetics. I only cleaned it up.
It's certainly a better one, but there's still the problem of
entirely
disparate configuration (manually editing wpa_supplicant.conf, etc.)
What's wrong with manually editing wpa_supplicant.conf?
The patch doesn't break anything. I don't understand why, in the pursuit
of all-encompassing NM-based network configuration, some people don't want
to allow any alternative methods.
