wpa_supplicant process although no WiFi adapter is present

[Paul Menzel <paulepanter users sourceforge net>]

Dear NeworkManager folks,


I am running a desktop box with Debian Sid/unstable. The system has no
WiFi adapter. Sometimes a UMTS device will be used. I was surprised
seeing that `wpa_supplicant` is running in the background nevertheless.

I guess NetworkManager started it, since the package also depends on
`wpasupplicant`.

    root      1116  0.0  0.2   4748  1304 ?        S    13:35   0:00 /sbin/wpa_supplicant -u -s

Is there a way to disable the loading of `wpa_supplicant`?


Thanks,

Paul
