Using wpa_supplicant.conf with removable WiFi modules?

[John Ernberg]

Hi

We're trying to use wpa_supplicant 2.4 with our removable WiFi module 
for P2P connections. It requires some device specific settings that we 
specified in the .conf file. The problem is that due to how 
configurations are assigned to interfaces, we have to restart 
wpa_supplicant every time we re-insert the module. This is not 
preferable to us.

Is there a way to assign these settings to wpa_supplicant so they become 
global for the entire execution period? If not, is there any reason as 
to why it was designed like this?

The settings are these:

driver_param
device_name
device_type
p2p_no_group_iface
p2p_listen_reg_class
p2p_listen_channel
p2p_oper_reg_class
p2p_oper_channel

Thank you in advance.
