Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.6.10-1
Severity: important
Same Problem like in Bug #567710.
On my System there is a wpa_supplicant running all the time:
13169 ? S 0:00 /sbin/wpa_supplicant -u -s
I configured my Wireless-Interface like this:
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
pre-up /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 txpower auto
wpa-driver wext
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/home.conf
post-down /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 txpower off
If I do a ifup wlan0, the wpa_supplicant is started twice, the already
running process is not stopped. There is a conflict and the wlan0 does
not work.
I tried to stop the running process, but it restarts suddenly.
I replaced the /sbin/wpa_supplicant by a shell script with a sleep 86000
and killed the process so that it can not restart again. After this
I replaced the binary with the original one and made a ifup wlan0 and it
worked.
What is the Problem? Why is "/sbin/wpa_supplicant -u -s" always running?
On my other Laptop with Lenny there is no process running.

No respone for over a year, closing as this is most likely a
configuration error as described by Kel.
