 Notice that the configuration file used is **/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf**, but if one named **wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf** exists, it will be preferred.
+===== Alternative: wpa_supplicant started by systemd =====
+The default is to start **wpa_supplicant** via **dhcpcd**, as seen above. But if you want, you can force **systemd** to start the service independently.
+You have to start the //interface-specific// service against the name **wlan0**, so make the following:
+<code>
+mv /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf
+systemctl enable wpa_supplicant@wlan0.service
+</code>
+After a reboot you should see the wpa_supplicant process running, and dhcpcd will configure wlan0 happily.
