networking.wireless.userControlled.enable

Allow normal users to control wpa_supplicant through wpa_gui or wpa_cli. This is useful for laptop users that switch networks a lot and don't want to depend on a large package such as NetworkManager just to pick nearby access points.

When using a declarative network specification you cannot persist any settings via wpa_gui or wpa_cli.
