+ <p>
+ In sarge, the wpasupplicant package was configured as system
+ service. This means that you have to edit wpasupplicant parameters like
+ the interface to be managed the driver backend to
+ /etc/default/wpasupplicant, and provide a suitable
+ /etc/wpasupplicant.conf yourself.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ In etch, the system service /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant was dropped. The
+ debian package provides integration to /etc/network/interfaces just like
+ the wireless-tools package. This means the wpasupplicant package does no
+ longer provide a system service wpasupplicant itself!
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ For information how to configure wpasupplicant please refer to
+ README.modes [1], which gives examples for /etc/network/interfaces
+ files. Updated Information about the usage of the wpasupplicant package
+ in debian can be found in the debian wiki at [2]
