Hi,
I can't look it up directly now, because I trashed my system in the course
of debugging, but what I remember is this:
Ok this is going to be a bit nebulous but maybe better than nothing...
either the wifi service or the wpa_supplicant creates a special device
/data/misc/wifi/wlan0/wlan0. I think it's the supplicant and the other part
uses this to set up 2 pipes in /data/misc/wifi/sockets/ to actually control
and monitor the supplicant. What I want to say is, I think it boils down to
some ugly permission stuff, I am debugging myself currently. I went so far
to comment out the privilege drop somewhere (android drops from root (or
system?) to wifi/wifi or wifi/system or something.
Unsure if it helps, it's nothing very concrete.
best,
Bastian Hecht
