This series adds GeoClue support to iw.
A few items we should take into consideration for future
innovation and improvements.
- The hostip provider should be extended to listen to signals for
network connetions, and once one becomes availble we can enable
asynchronous notifications back to the kernel.
- Extend this to try first the GeoClue gypsy provider, gpsd.
- Consider writing a GeoClue provider for https://wigle.net/
which the supplicant can use to inform GeoClue of location.
- Consider writing our own GeoClue provider based on timezones
as a last resort.
- Consider whether or not the kernel may want accuracy
information as well to make more interesting decisions.
