Included script will make sure that if wpa_supplicant.conf is no longer a symlink but it and /boot/octopi-wpa-supplicant.txt exist, the selected wifi country will be extracted and written to /boot/octopi-wpa-supplicant.txt and then the symlink will be recreated. If wpa_supplicant.conf is completely gone, only the symlink will be recreated. Nothing will be done if /boot/octopi-wpa-supplicant.txt does not exist. The service file ensures that this check is done on every boot, after the local file system becomes available but before the networking gets initialized. This should solve guysoft#336 Note that this requires systemd (Debian Jessie) - since current Raspbian starts SysV init scripts only after networking has started to initialized, it was impossible for me to create a SysV init script that fixes the symlink prior to network initialization.
