was ("Failed to read configurations file" ?)

[Jay Strauss]

I've never been able to get mine to work that way.  I always have to start wpa 
in my /etc/network/interfaces like:

iface wlan0 inet dhcp
        pre-up wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -D hostap -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf &
        post-down killall wpa_supplicant

I'm connecting to a wpa ap.  Below is how I've tried to set it up for init.d 
activation but it never works.  Instead I have to restart wpasupplicant

Can anyone see my error, or give me a clue for something to try???
Thanks
Jay
