Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.3.7-1
Severity: wishlist
Please add a hotplug.d/net script to automatically start wpasupplicant for new
interfaces. The system ifplugd uses is excellent; the hotplug script calls the
/etc/init.d/ifplugd script with an extra interface parameter to keep starting
code central, and /etc/default/ifplugd defines what interfaces to start at
boottime and what at plug-in time.
Hotplugging support would require autodetection of what wpasupplicant driver to
use for the interface though. I created autodetection for 4 of the 7 supported
drivers in the attached hotplug script I have hacked up for my own use. Of
these 4 I only am able to test the ndiswrapper detection unfortunately. The
methods for the remaining 3 drivers are only missing because I didn't put more
than a few google searches of work into those.
The detection should probably move out of this script to a seperate executable
so it can be reused upstream. :)

Starting with 0.7.x, wpasupplicant defaults to nl80211, but falls back
to wext transparently - so both remaining wpa-drivers for wlan are
covered (as long as you don't hardcode another wpa-driver). Therefore
this bug can considered to be fixed in >=0.7.3-1
