Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 2:2.6-18
Severity: important
Dear maintainer,
When not having network-manager installed and trying to configure a WPA network
using /etc/network/interfaces, it fails when networking.service starts up (in
sid).
/etc/network/interfaces/ contains this:
auto wlp58s0
iface wlp58s0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid myssid
wpa-psk mypsk...
Doing: systemctl restart networking ( or rebooting), I get:
Sep 17 18:33:37 nucny systemd[1]: Starting Raise network interfaces...
Sep 17 18:33:37 nucny ifup[24357]: Warning: Fake start-stop-daemon called,
doing nothing.
Sep 17 18:33:42 nucny ifup[24357]: run-parts:
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wpasupplicant exited with return code 1
Sep 17 18:33:42 nucny ifup[24357]: ifup: failed to bring up wlp58s0
Sep 17 18:33:42 nucny systemd[1]: networking.service: Main process exited,
code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Sep 17 18:33:42 nucny systemd[1]: networking.service: Failed with result
'exit-code'.
Sep 17 18:33:42 nucny systemd[1]: Failed to start Raise network interfaces.
Or in fact, first I also had a line:
... /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wpasupplicant: 120:
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wpasupplicant: cannot create /dev/stderr: No such
device or address
which I got rid of by piping to /dev/null instead in /etc/network/interfaces
Best regards,
Ruben
