So right now the libs I see from /usr/ that our new wireless tools may
use is libnl and openssl (libgcrypt goes into /lib/ at least on my
box), iw is already on /usr/sbin/ and crda can be moved to /usr/sbin/
if that makes everything peachy but just please note the udev rule
will change location, which should be fine, it is just noted.
