I've added these additions to config.scm, thinking it will give effect:
(define %sudoers-specification
(plain-file "sudoers" "root ALL=(ALL) ALL
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /wpa"))
....
(operating-system
...
(sudoers-file %sudoers-specification)
)
And reconfigured. And it works!
Note that must run it with sudo!
$ sudo /wpa isp
Connecting to ISP provider
Service networking has been stopped.
Service wpa-supplicant has been stopped.
Service wpa-supplicant has been started.
Service networking has been started.
Very nice.
My usual user works nice with wpa_supplicant now.
Thanks to draketo and his config example
