Im not familiar with wpa_supplicant, but you can preface external commands
to execute in ifconfig.* with !

Hello,

   I have a NetBSD host that I would like to
connect to an existing wireless LAN using a rum(4) interface
(Belkin F5D7050B USB 802.11g adaptor).  I have tried
configuring wpa_supplicant via rc.conf but it does not seem
to start and I don't know why.  Is there some other way to
launch wpa_supplicant, perhaps via ifconfig.rum0?
