Package: base Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I was configuring automatic wlan connectivity for my RasPi with PIXEL (Debian based). I manipulated the wpa_supplicant file in /etc/wpa_supplicant directory just to change connection priorities and made a spelling error. I Forgot closing bracket "}" for one of the connections (the first one). When I rebooted the device, I found out that I had no wlan connectivity. Not only were the preset connections obviously missing, since the wpa_supplicant file was effectively corrupted, but the whole wifi driver seemed to have crashed and I could not connect to or even see any networks nearby. In fact the device (RasPi 3 that has an inbuild wifi module) seemed to have no wifi device. This was completely fixed by addign the missing bracket. I thought to report this as it seems to me at least that in this kind of a situation the wifi driver should be able to recover from corrupted configuration file and possibly give a prompt that it indeed is corrupted, and continue as is with default settings. -- System Information: Distributor ID: Raspbian Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 8.0 (jessie) Release: 8.0 Codename: jessie Architecture: armv7l Kernel: Linux 4.4.50-v7+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
