Openrc-9999 and wlan0 (+ wpa_supplicant)

[momesana]

Hi,
I recently switched to Openrc-9999 (using the openrc overlay) and since it lacks any network functionality ( /etc/init.d/net.xxx and /etc/init.d/net.lo are all gone ), one has to use dhcpcd-5 to manage the devices. It works fine for devices like simple ethernet devices where you receive your network settings directly from the dhcpc server but when using it with my wlan interface where I have to provide some detailed information like the respective "essid" to use, and corresponding wpa-psk keys, I have no clue how to proceed. The current situation is that I've written a simple script:
[script]
#!/bin/bash
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
[/script]
that I execute as root once I am logged it into kde. But that's tiresome to perform that on each and every boot. Any Ideas how I could configure dhcpcd-5 to use wpa_supplicant with the aforementioned parameters automatically?

Thanx in advance

Did you try wicd or a network manager ?

You could also use the wpa_supplicant init script from OpenRC itself.
It's not installed by default, but if you have the source you can do this
