I think the bug can be fixed in wpa_supplicant, but until that happens, users 
should just uninstall pkcs11-provider.

The idea here was to auto-enable pkcs11-provider when it is installed, which 
still makes sense to me. The issue here I think is that many people ended up 
with pkcs11-provider installed because of a recommendation. We should remove 
that recommendation, most users don’t need pcks11-provider installed.
