DetailsDescription: wpa_supplicant provides service files for systemd-networkd. In some case scenarios, it is necessary to force a driver for hardware compatibility reason. wpa_supplicant@.service uses nl80211 driver by default, but there is wpa_supplicant-nl80211@.service that forces nl80211. Unfortunately, many hardware need wext as the driver, and there is no service file that forces -Dwext. It would be useful to add a wpa_supplicant-wext@.service for those users.
The attached file provides an example. Additionally it would be useful to have -Dnl80211,wext in the wpa_supplicant@.service to have both nl80211 and a fallback to wext.

Most/all of this can be done by overriding parts of the service file.
