How is it a hack or a tweak to run a supplicant that handles all the WPA 
setup, configuration, and maintenance?  You have one central program that 
can be used by multple drivers, allowing for faster / better development, 
and less reimplementation in each driver.

Plus, I've yet to see any Windows wireless drivers that didn't need the 
Aegis protocol driver also installed in order to use WPA.  :)  At least 
you can configure how the wpa_supplicant works -- I've yet to find a way 
to tweak the Aegis protocol in Windows.  :)
