Package: wpasupplicant Version: 2:2.10-24 Severity: normal I notice that a reconfigure of wpa_supplicant causes it to drop the control directory and never recreate it. This happens both when the reconfigure is initiated by SIGHUP or with "wpa_cli reconfigure". (In the latter case, the directory is gone before wpa_cli completes and so wpa_cli hangs.)
The issue does not really affect me: I thought of using reconfigure, then found that reassociate is sufficient for my needs. Still, this seems a bug that ought to be noted or fixed.
