The association of the wifi network card with the router, yes. After
that networking can then set the interface as up or down. It cannot do
that before the association though (hence wpa_supplicant must run before
the network is started).
Obviously for wired networks, wpa_supplicant isn't going to do anything,
so networking will start up as usual (bringing interfaces up or leaving
them down).
so that _all_ point of confusion are clarified;
1 - networking working
/etc/sysconfig/
network
2 - wpa_supplicant [if using w-fi]
/etc/sysconfig/
wpa_supplicant
3a - wired [if using wired]
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
ifup-eth
3b - wi-fi [if using wi-fi]
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
ifcfg-wlanx
iirc, all 4 is how i go about it. ;=)
