Thanks, do you note that there are at least two things to consider? OpenSSL is  
considered to not be GPL compatible. So people that want to distribute 
binaries or don't want to advertize Eric Young can use GnuTLS or no SSL at 
all..

Do you have any idea why wpa_supplicant is failing with GnuTLS? Is it in 
wpa_supplicant or GNUtls?
