Great!
Here are some notes (since the first page is immutable I can't apply these
changes by myself):
Why
===
Typo: We *no onger* bother ...
Use it as system service and make ifplugd to "activate the interface"
=========================================
Typo: We *havn't*
Note on "We havn't found any real documentation why this works at all":
ifplugd is designed to work this way. Please,
read /usr/share/doc/ifplugd/README.gz:
" Support for wireless networking. Whenever an association to an AP is
detected the network is configured."
Upgrade Issues
==========
"[...]because this breaks some local hacks these users where using."
If a user has been using wpa_supplicant as packaged the upgrade breaks his
working system unless he has *not* used the init script and has *not*
used /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf. This has got nothing to do with local hacks!
"or use a package which uses wpasupplicant to provide such a system service."
Does such a package exist?
wpasupplicant in Debian testing/unstable (Codename "etch")
=====================================
Typo: The debian *package package* provides
Kind regards,
Felix
