Yes, I have
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
        wpa-driver wext
        wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.local

and one stanza per network:
iface wlan-l21 inet dhcp
        wpa-driver wext
        wpa-ssid <snip>
        wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
        wpa-psk <snip>

I am not sure whether the network stanzas are still used.

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0

dot11RSNAConfigSATimeout=10

eapol_version=1
ap_scan=2
fast_reauth=1

Besides that, I only have network stanzas in my
wpa_supplicant.conf.local.

So I need to remove the id_str statement, and an "iface default inet
dhcp" stanza in /e/n/i?

I will do so when I encounter the hotspot for the next time. It's a
railroad station I am usually only passing through, so I'll either
need to disembark from the train next time I am there or am limited to
the like ten-minute stop of the train en route to my girlfriend's site.

Greetings
