I remember having seen a wpa_suppilcant config file, but do not know if
it exists.

And I have not found an iwconfig so I could not check what the kernel thinks
about presence and setup of the interface and was not able to test it.

Interesting idea! Seems to be easily created by

	makesd replicant debian

easier than starting to copy individual files (which is still possible).

There may be a minor hurdle to access the replicant file system
(/proc, /sys) from within the chroot. But that is not very different
from the chroot used to debootstrap our LetuxOS Debian images.

BR and thanks for sharing this idea,
Nikolaus
