Package: wpasupplicant Version: 1.0-2 Severity: normal I was excited to see in the changelog that 1.0 adds a 'blacklist BSSID' command, something I've long wanted for congested areas where I am accepting connections for any open network with any ESSID, but many are not free and therefore not suitable for my purposes.
Oddly enough, every time I use it, wpa_cli is answering FAIL, yet when I examine the blacklist with 'blacklist' the entry is shown. Also, if I bump up the log level to DEBUG, I see suitable messages in syslog, e.g. (actual BSSID obscured for privacy): Jun 20 17:28:30 shade wpa_supplicant[30271]: CTRL_IFACE: BLACKLIST bssid='00:11:22:dd:ee:ff' Jun 20 17:28:30 shade wpa_supplicant[30271]: Added BSSID 00:11:22:dd:ee:ff into blacklist Here is the wpa_cli input and output associated with these messages: > blacklist 00:13:a3:0f:63:43 FAIL > blacklist 00:13:a3:0f:63:43 Because of the FAIL response, I don't have the confidence the blacklist will actually do its job. I searched documentation, and not finding any but the briefest mention of the new command in the changelog and the help within wpa_cli itself, then the source, but I ran out of time and patience trying to discover the reason for the failure on my own.
