Happened again today. No specific reason. NetworkManager lost the
wireless connection, and it failed to reconnect. After noticing the
computer s little slow, I checked a 'top' and there it was,
wpa_supplicant stuck again.

Since the whole issue seems to be related to sudo -I can't do any
sudoing on any terminal-, perhaps this is related to the bioapi. I have
the bioapi (for the fingerprint reader) setup so that sudo only uses it
if one pushes return immediately on being prompted for a password.

But in any case it's strange that it has only happened twice, all thee
other weeks the wireless roaming working just fine between free networks
and password-required networks (that need to access the key lock).
Prompts for the key lock or for administrator access work just fine
(i.e. the bioapi is never involved, I just type the password on the
prompt window).
