Artix and dinit-wpa_supplicant

I'm using a Thinkpad X270 with an Intel ac2100 wifi/bluetooth card

Try as  I might, I couldn't get  dinit-wpa_supplicant to  work. The
default  installation  uses  "wlan0"  instead  of  wlan0,  which  I
corrected, but  it just  turned on  the  wificard  without  running
dhpcd.

So I  gave up and wrote my own  connection script that  is launched
when I log in via .xinitrc:

doas wpa-connect

#!/usr/bin/env bash
rm /run/wpa_supplicant/* 
wpa_supplicant  -B -i wlan0 \
  -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf 
sleep 1 
dhcpcd

Kinda sucky, but hey it works, while dinit-wpa_supplicant doesn't.

EDIT

I'm a dumbass, I forgot that you also need to install dhcpcd-dinit.
I still needed to edit  /etc/dinit.d/config/wpa_supplicant.conf and 
remove the quote marks around the device name.
