wpa_supplicant pid locking files

I'm using netcfg on my laptop because I need to connect to several different wifi networks on a regular basis. My home network is WPA, so I'm using wpa_supplicant.  For some reason, when I shut down, the pid locking files in /var/run/wpa_supplicant are not being removed. As  result, I have to manually rm them before connecting to my home network whenever I reboot. This is seriously cramping my boot time auto-connecting style, so I'm wondering what's supposed to remove those (I would guess wpa_supplicant itself), and soliciting strategies for getting whatever that thing is to do its job properly.

Re: wpa_supplicant pid locking files

How do you call wpa_supplicant? Directly? I do it from netcfg and *.pid files (wpa_supplicant_wpan0.pid) are handled correctly...

You can also put non-WPA networks into wpa_supplicant.conf
