You currently must build and run everything as 32-bit because the binary
supplicant library is 32-bit and the source is not provided, and Intel
is not doing 64-bit builds of it.

Inaky is working on creating a supplicant library that *is* open-source,
so the problem should be solved in the near future and then most distros
can have a fully open-source, fully SELinux-compatible, fully 32/64 bit
capable wimax stack.  But until then, we can't.
