I'm guessing I need to figure out how wpa_supplicant interacts with wicked
Probably not the best plan. wicked is going away (as in dead), so pick some other management tool. Sad 'cos I used to like it. :(
wicked has never had much of a "profile", it just worked behind the scene, largely invisible. I would like to remain as "compatible" with openSUSE as is reasonable, and I would prefer not having to invent my own wheel. wicked + /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0 seem good for the time being.
I had been out googling and seen how people on Raspberry Pis was doing it
Specifically I put wicked on a pi and had no end of grief until I removed it.
It's working fine here, on two raspberries and four nanopis. Of course, I am running openSUSE, not raspbian or some such :-)
networking.service and dhcpcd.service seem to do everything, with dhcpcd.service running wpa_supplicant. pi has a fudge where if you put wifi details in a wpa_supplicant.conf file in /boot
I keep forgetting I have to assume "raspbian" (or some new name? I forget) whenever I read something about Raspberries. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland.
