I don't really agree here, as I don't see the necessity to bug the
user with an additional question. Instead, we should answer the
question for the user.
Unfortunately, /e/n/i is not the business of wpasupplicant, but of
ifupdown.

We could implement such a check in ifupdown.sh, but I don't think its
worth the trouble.
Kel, how do you think?
