Bug#761923: netcfg: please enable wpa_supplicant syslog and debug flags

[Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org>]

Source: netcfg
Version: 1.120
Severity: normal
Control: block -1 by 761922

Hi,

see discussion in [1] for background, and #761922 for the requested
change in the wpa package. To enable this syslog mode, netcfg needs
to pass the -s flag in its execlp call (wpa.c) but it MUST NOT do so
before wpa has been uploaded (possibly migrated to testing) since
wpa_supplicant would exit due to an unknown flag otherwise.

It would also probably make sense to enable at least the first debug
level (-d), and maybe the second one (-dd), even if I'm not sure.
There might be a way to make it configurable, so that we can ask
users to perform a single change when they report WPA-related
issues?

I'd probably go for -s and -d in the next upload; and see how often
we need -dd after that.

Mraw,
KiBi.
