Facts
-----
I'm using waproamd+ifplugd+guessnet on a wireless lan with a WEP key and
DHCP, so this is what happens on my system:
- plug-in wireless pcmcia card
- cardmgr loads card's drivers (hostap's) and executes './network start
wlan0', this makes hotplug launch waproamd and ifplugd (this last one,
does not detect link beat and "sleeps" 'till new notice)
- waproamd detects the new wireless lan and sets it up (ap, channel, essid,
plus wep key)
- ifplugd detects the wireless link beat (AP association) and runs my tests
with guessnet
- the 'test wireless mac <mac> essid <essid>' is runt by
/usr/share/guessnet/test/test-wireless, which after doing the pertinent
checks (maybe the MAC_ADDRESS and ACTUAL_MAC_ADDRESS should be both put
on the same case - upper or lower, but both the same -, to avoid
mistakes) and before exiting, does a 'ifconfig "$IFACE" down', which in
turn deassociates the card from the AP (at least on my system)
- as the guessnet's test succeeded on a DHCP logical iface, it sends a
DHCPREQUEST, but the connection is not really up
Problem
-------
When the client (me) deassociates, the dhclient is not killed and continues
requesting a lease.
If when waproamd retries to connect again the same wlan is used, a dhclient
(I don't know if the old is finally killed a a new one spawned) finally
gets its job done (as I think the previous ifplugd finally succeeds and the
new event triggered by waproamd (new link beat) is cancelled.
If the wlan disappears, my system gets mad and the wlan card stops
working... I don't know why.
I haven't made all the possible tests, and I'm not pretty sure on what
happens after the test-wireless' ifconfig ... down, but I think something
goes wrong (is there any special or concrete case why you put that line
there?)
I didn't test the other two scripts, but they all have an ifconfig ... down
line that could be problematic (I don't know...).
Solution
--------
I commented the 'ifconfig "$IFACE" down' line on guessnet's test-wireless
script and everything went straightforward as expected.
Well, I think i wrote too much for such a simple thing, sorry :)

[ Joachim Breitner ]
* test-wireless makes wireless interface lose association (Closes:
#329419)
Until now, test-wireless ifconfig up'ed the interface and ifconfig down'ed
it afterwards, which always caused a disconnect. I have removed these
lines. If it breaks it for you now, please tell us, so that we can
implement a conditional ifconfig-up-and-down'ing.
.
[ Enrico Zini ]
* New upstream version.
- Use the system classes from wibble 0.1.4+
- Fix the script line parser for the standalone configuration file.
Closes: bug#387601.
- Correctly prints wlan and priv link beat detection errors.
Closes: bug#387603.
- Better output for link detection functions when they fail.
Closes: bug#387600.
- Correctly handle error cases in link beat detection.
Closes: bug#336924.
- Don't check if the wlan interface is associated with an AP as part
of link-beat detection.
* Added X-Vcs-Svn tag to debian/control
