I think it is better to separate wpa_supplicant start/stop script from netif script. Because, we sometimes need to restart wpa_supplicant when changing WEP key. In our company, in which we can't use WPA, WEP key is sometimes changed to be more secure. In this case, we need restarting wpa_supplicant to change WEP key. I think it is populer to change WEP key frequently in none-WPA/802.11i environment. So, it is useful to separate wpa_supplicant start/stop script from netif script. Thanks, ------- YAMAMOTO Shigeru
