The dbus service will be let disabled by default, right? It's worthy remembering that wpa_supplicant already supports IPC by using UNIX domain sockets or UDP sockets, which are Linux default/native stuff.

I like it because it's clean, KISS, and uses only default/native stuff. I can help integrating with UNIX domain sockets or UDP sockets if needed.
