Netcfg 7 Wpa supplicant problem

Hi

i like the features of netcfg but i can't get it working. I run netcfg <profiel>  then wpa_supplicant is run:
See ps aux | grep wpa:

wpa_supplicant -wB -P /var/run/wpa_supplicant_wlan0.pid -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_suplicant.conf -Dwext

then when i run dhcpcd wlan0 it works , but ofcourse netcfg says it fails, the output:

:: eduroam up                                                                                        [BUSY] Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory

My /etc/network.d/profile

#
# Network Profile
#
CONNECTION="wireless"
DESCRIPTION="Tu internet"
# Network Settings
INTERFACE=wlan0
HOSTNAME="p7"
# Interface Settings
IP="dhcp"
DHCP_TIMEOUT=20
# Wireless Settings
SECURITY="wpa-config"
ESSID="eduroam"
SCAN="no"
# WPA Specific Settings
WPA_OPTS="-i wlan0"
WPA_CONF="/etc/wpa_suplicant.conf"

the /etc/rc.conf section

#
#NETWORKS=(ethernet eduroam)
QUIRKS=(prescan wpaessid)

Re: Netcfg 7 Wpa supplicant problem

QUIRKS should go in the netcfg profile, not rc.conf
