Hi,

in DriverLoader 2.07, we have added hooks to make it easier to 
automatically start the wpa_supplicant daemon.

Please name your wpa_supplicant daemon binary 
'/usr/sbin/dldr_wpa_supplicant' and please name your wpa_supplicant 
configuration file '/etc/driverloader/dldr_wpa_supplicant.<iface>.conf'. 
For example, if you wireless interface is named 'wlan0', the file name 
becomes '/etc/driverloader/dldr_wpa_supplicant.wlan0.conf'.

When these files will be in place, the wpa_supplicant daemon will 
automatically be started when you will use the 'ifup' command in a root 
shell. This command is used after a reboot to bring up your wireless 
interface so it should also automatically work after a reboot.

Regards,
