Thanks, but AFAICT

a. that's for NetworkManager, not plain wpa_supplicant, which is what
   we're after.

b. It's mostly about installing NetworkManager, which I already have
   installed.
  
c. It's almost entirely obsoleted by the fact that Dapper includes a
   network-manager package that you install with apt-get install
   network-manager.

unless I missed something in there...?
