If it were just the command, it would be easy. But OpenBSD
integrated part of the wpa_supplicant functionality into their
wifi stack in the kernel.
interesting: I didn't know that. Is it a good idea? apart... the
convenience of course I think about stability, security, etc. I suppose
there are more complex scenarios where wpa_supplicant has its uses, like
automatic network detection, switch, etc. Usually OpenBSD guys are quite
careful.
On the other hand, it is wondefully convenient and you can connect to a
new network easily... without configuring a file, starting a program,
etc etc.
