Then the description need changing:
Description wpa_supplicant is a WPA Supplicant for Linux, BSD and
Windows with support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i / RSN). Supplicant
is the IEEE 802.1X/WPA component that is used in the client stations. It
implements key negotiation with a WPA Authenticator and it controls the
roaming and IEEE 802.11 authentication/association of the wlan
: driver.
Yeah, the "wlan driver" is not apparently the only one where
wpa_supplicant is used for authentication, although the usage of IEEE
802.1x on wired networks is probably rather rare.
