Background first - I am writing an interface for configuring wifi over a small 160x80 display and a numeric keypad only. I am only just getting my feet wet with wpa_supplicant - for working with wpa_cli, I seem to need /var/run/wpa_supplicant as specified in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. /var/run/wpa_supplicant seems to be missing ? (on at least three systems I've looked at). Judging by the man page for wpa_supplicant.conf, what we (openSUSE) provide as a default is wrong? We have ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel whereas the man page suggests: ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel 'ctrl_interface_group' is not even mentioned in the man page. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.2°C)
