Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.6.10-2
Severity: minor
/etc/wpa_supplicant/ifupdown.sh even starts if no wlan device is
available (at least with ifconfig).
imo that is not necessary, instead it should only start if an actual
wlan device is ifup'd.

Some data that supports the statement made in the initial bug report. None
was provided.

D-Bus is also able to start wpa_supplicant.

wpa_supplicant is not just for wireless devices.

That process was started via D-Bus service activation (note the -u option)
- most likely by NetworkManager. It was definitely not started via the
ifupdown shell scripts.

Closing the bug report, it is invalid.
