shouldn't one need to be root to modify network configuration? i shouldn't be able to tell wpa_supplicant to do something as non-root, in a default install.
In a default install the only member of wheel is root and wpa_supplicant is not started.
I suppose the real question is do we want to allow group access to wpa_supplicant and if so which group if not wheel?
If we don't want to allow group access I may as well revert my changes and setup is then as before - the user is expected to configure everything themselves and wpa_cli won't work by default. This would be a shame as I've had a lot of positive feedback on this change already.
