[1] also states that: The wpasupplicant package provides wpa-* ifupdown options for /etc/network/interfaces. If these options are specified, wpa_supplicant is started in the background when your wireless interface is raised and stopped when brought down. In simplier terms: no wpasupplicant = no WPA2. > ifup wlxe894f6248352 > gives > ifup: interface wlxe894f6248352 already configured "allow-hotplug" tells udev to raise a network interface after it's attached to the kernel. This result of ifup is expected. Reco [1] https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse#Command_Line
