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,
Jonathan
