[This is mostly to keep the Debian Bug Tracking system updated, but list is Cc:ed too] [resent, b/c i messed up]
The below quoted is related to this bug if I don't totally miss understood it. I still think it should be a part of the wpa_supplicant executable for two reasons: 1. Having one additional process just for starting scripts seems like resource waste. 2. Having one configuration file for configuring all wireless stuff would be better for the user than a bunch of places that have to be edited. For the practical part with this existing code though wpa_cli could be started with a script that parses a configuration file and chooses what argument to give to ifup. E.g. "ifup eth0=wifihome" -- /Martin On Sat, Apr 23, 2005 at 08:53:01PM -0700, Jouni Malinen wrote: > On Wed, Apr 20, 2005 at 10:36:52AM +0100, Roy Marples wrote: > > > Attached to this email is a patch to wpa_supplicant CVS which replaces > > existing Connected, Disconnected and Terminating messages with ones like > > the above.
