Since routers do not need netcfg any more than they do wpa_supplicant, with your reasoning, it should not be in base either... If we stick to the definition that the base group should contain everything needed too boot up a minimal system and connect it to the network, then I do not see how you can consider wpa_supplicant optional. -- Gaetan
