I am doing it differently and it is  complex.

1. I have following at /etc/rc.loacl

` ` ` `
wpa_supplicant -B -Dnl80211 -iwlan0 -c  /usr/local/etc/my.wpa_supplicant.conf

` ` ` `

and at /etc/network/interfaces I have

` ` ` `

mapping wlan0
     script guessnet-ifupdown
     map default: office-wifi
     map  office-wifi open unknown
     map timeout: 12
     # map init-time: 12   # for slow drivers
     map verbose: true
     map debug: true

 iface office-wifi inet dhcp
        test wireless  mac  00:1C:F0:3D:4C:C9
post-up  /root/bin/FIREWALL start

# if all else fails: pick an open network
 iface open inet dhcp
     test wireless open
     wireless-essid any
     wireless-mode auto
` ` ` `

How can I remove the wpa related entry from rc.local and add directly at /etc/interfaces ?

Thanks
