+Interacting with wpa_supplicant with wpa_cli and wpa_gui
+========================================================
+
+The wpa_supplicant process can be interacted with by members of the "netdev"
+group if the example roaming configuration was used as is (or by whatever
+group or gid specified by the GROUP= crtl_interface parameter).
+
+	# the default ctrl_interface option used in the example file
+	# /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/examples/wpa-roam.conf
+        ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
+
+To interact with the supplicant, the wpa_cli (command line) and wpa_gui (QT)
+have been provided. With these you may connect, disconnect, add/delete new
+network blocks, provide required interactive security information and so on.
