Below you describe that you setup the "wpa-roam" scheme of wpasupplicant package. When using this mode, _wpa_supplicant_ does the "link detection", and it notifies a listening wpa_cli daemon which in turn calls ifup/ifdown as required. There is no use for ifplud in this mode, ifplugd will only get in the way. > > Now I would like to integrate your great app wpasupplicant in this > system. I have a WPA wifi network.
