Only in srcpkgs/eiwd: update

It builds, but breaks, maybe because of misconfiguration (eiwd has no automatic configuration). iw dev shows the ssid row for a few seconds, but then disappears.

Then again, this happens with normal iwd as well...

Never mind what I said above, I forgot I had messed with my drivers. #21355 Works!

IWD has fixed multiple bugs and security issues, but eiwd hasn't kept up with such changes at all. Closing this request.
