By the way, the author of wpa_supplicant has confirmed that this is a problem with Network Manager. wpa_supplicant sends messages about state changes over D-Bus, and then Network Manager generates the logs based on those messages (nm-device-wifi.c ), though he feels there is no reason for NM to lo

wpa_supplicant in Intrepid is *not* being started with -d or -dd, so this bug is fixed. There is a separate issue with wpa_supplicant being arguably too noisy in its normal operation. That should be filed and fixed separately. AFAIK it's nothing to do with NetworkManager, it's just wpa_supplicant

You can run 'ps -ef | grep wpa_ | grep -v grep' to get the command line used by NM to start wpa_supplicant. But the point is that while you may not care where the messages come from, which I understand perfectly, but *we* care for clarity's sake. Open a new report, because if your problem is still

There's some kind of miscommunication here. In Ubuntu Intrepid, does NetworkManager still start wpa_supplicant with either -d or -dd? If it still does, then why is this bug marked Fixed? If it doesn't, then why is it still logging "supplicant connection state change" messages several times per m

What Alexander means is that the present report is about NetworkManager starting wpa_supplicant with the -d option, which makes it print debug messages.
