Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.3.8-1
Severity: wishlist

I almost never use the wireless interface in my laptop, but when I do I
need WPA support, so I have wpa_supplicant configured deal with that for
me.

This is great, but I don't really want it to start at boot time, since
normally that would be a waste of time and effort.

Given that, I created these two scripts to start and stop wpa_supplicant
on an interface when it is brought up or down by the if{up,down}
commands.

This is controlled by setting 'wpa_supplicant yes' in the interface
stanza, and the attached pair of scripts.

Would you consider adding them to the distribution, please?
