In the long run, it's quite helpful for laptops to be able to adjust the network configuration from a GUI on the console without having to run GUI bits as root. We aren't in a position to do this correctly (nor does importing the likes of polkit as a hack to allow reasoning about being "on the console" constitute correctly) but let's not lose track of it as a goal. Is there a way we could, for example, leverage the current hacks for chowning console devices to grant access to wpa_supplicant? -- David A. Holland dholl...@netbsd.org
