Yes, if you want to have a single wpa_supplicant binary that works with
both nl80211 and WEXT drivers without having to specifically configure
which driver interface to use, this would likely be the most convenient
way of doing that. I'm not very familiar with systems configuration, but
if the .service file describes how wpa_supplicant gets started, then
yes, that would likely be the place to do this.
