Just out of curiosity, have you connected to an open access point? Or

doesn't, the problem is beyond the scope of my comprehension of the
subject, sorry.

At present I don't have an acess to open access point. As such the
things work without wpasupplicant, I do not want to meddle with things
beyond my machine.

Fair enough.

How wpasupplicant is started in the new scheme of things?

I believe wpasupplicant is started with ifup now, instead of being
started seperately in init.d -- but don't quote me on that, I don't have
a very good understanding of how the new wpasupplicant works.

entry in
/etc/network/interfaces is sufficient?

It is for me, at least.
I fell wpasupplicant is not called. Something is missing in my system
which calls wpasupplicant.

Then I must apologise, but the problem is beyond the scope of my
understanding.
