How to get wpa_supplicant to run at boot

[austinramsay]

I can manually connect with wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -iwlp8s0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and then set my ip manually to 192.168.0.101 with ifconfig, then set my default route with route add default gw 192.168.0.1 (my routers ip) and i get a connection. But i want to do all of this manually. How do i get wpa_supplicant to run at boot? Do i need to emerge a dhcp client (dhcpcd) also if i want to use dhcp to connect on boot? How do i set that up?
