Description:

I noticed /usr/lib/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant@.service from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1393494#p1393494

It makes the wireless interface correctly associate with the ESSID, but where is the IP address? After enabling dhcpcd@wlan0.service, my wireless network interface is up and running... BUT

dhcpcd@wlan0.service invokes wpa_supplicant from /usr/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks/10-wpa_supplicant, so there is no need for wpa_supplicant@.service AFAICT?

I'm maintaining a blog post about how to setup a network connection on my X220 http://dabase.com/blog/Good_riddance_netctl/ between wpa_supplican and dhcpcd packaging ...


Additional info:
* 2.1-3

Steps to reproduce:

sudo systemctl enable wpa_supplicant@wlan0.service
sudo systemctl enable dhcpcd@wlan0.service
This task depends upon
