Yes it is. The log file, /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log, shows this. If it
wasn't started then 'ifup wlan0' wouldn't work. What isn't happening
during startup - it seems - is dhclient running. And I can find no
mention of that in the log files. It does run though when I use 'ifup'
after startup. Hence running 'ifdown wlan0 && ifup wlan0' works. I'll
need to see where dhclient gets started and see if I can crank up the
logging/debugging.
