[arm-allstar] VERY IMPORTANT

[David McGough]

Hi Tony,

I'm not sure what happened with your WiFi?  ...I run WiFi on every RPi3
I've got---literally no wired ethernet, anywhere. Nothing on any of my
systems got clobbered.

Apparently the wpa_supplicant update re-writes the 
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant_custom-wlan0.conf file using a simple 
wpa_passphrase implementation. This broke the wifi on my node until I 
manually edited the above file from a backup as follows:

network={
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  ssid="thessid"
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  psk=thepsk
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  proto=RSN
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  pairwise=CCMP
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  auth_alg=OPEN
}

.... just in case someone else might be experiencing a similar issue.
