I cannot promise these as environmental vars, that would require Jouni to 
accept a patch, and the very reason the id_str was added was that SSID could 
not be used as a valid mapping in many cases because it may contain weird 
characters that cannot be used by networking tools.

We can however, cludge around this by calling wpa_cli back on itself like:

wpa_cli status | sed -n -e 's/^ssid=//p'

I need a bit more help to understand where this will fit into wpa_action.

Please grab the snapshot again, I've just updated it, and give me some sample 
code so i can visualise what you want.
