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. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages wpasupplicant depends on: ii adduser 3.112 add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.20-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libnl1 1.1-5 library for dealing with netlink s ii libpcsclite1 1.5.5-1 Middleware to access a smart card ii libreadline6 6.1-1 GNU readline and history libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8k-8 SSL shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip wpasupplicant recommends no packages.
