Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.4.7-3
Severity: normal
Hello,
First af all: note that this bug might be related to
#346265, but it happens to me in version 0.4.7-3 of
wpasupplicant (#346265 states it is fixed in version
0.4.7-1).
I think /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant script contains
some errors: it does not create pidfile as it should,
at start|restart time. In my opinion, it may hide
some failures when starting|restarting the daemon.
I include attached a diffile with a patch(?) for the
problem.
Daniel R.
