>Description:
If /usr (well, /usr/sbin) is not part of the root partition, running
wpa_supplicant(8) via rc(8) will fail silently unless /usr is added to
critical_filesystems_local:

$  rcorder /etc/rc.d/* | egrep '(wpa_supplicant|mount..)'
/etc/rc.d/mountcritlocal
/etc/rc.d/wpa_supplicant
/etc/rc.d/mountcritremote
/etc/rc.d/mountall
>How-To-Repeat:
Configure wpa_supplicant(8) via wpa_supplicant.conf(5) and appropriate
wpa_supplicant_flags.  Set wpa_supplicant=YES in /etc/rc.conf without
adding /usr to critical_filesystems_local.  Reboot.
>Fix:
I guess wpa_supplicant(8) should be moved to /sbin in order to allow for
using it on systems which actually _do_ mount /usr remotely.  If that's
not an option, IMO at least a comment should be added to rc.conf(5)
(similar to the comment regarding /var for dhclient).
