Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.5.5-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
When wpasupplicant is launched from /etc/wpa_supplicant/functions.sh it tries
to use flag -W, which is
supposed to make it wait until the wpa_cli attaches to the socket. The thing
is, that the -W is not documented
in wpasupplicant, and thus, it does not work (at least in my system). This
causes wpa_cli to miss the
CONNECTED event when the wireless network is available from the very first
moment. As the event is missed,
wpa_action is not called and the interface is not configured.
I suggest changing the file /etc/wpa_supplicant/functions.sh, in function
init_wpa_cli, so that after wpa_cli
is launched, we force a disconnect with wpa_cli to make wpasupplicant reconnect
again and send the CONNECTED
event. The proposed code would be:
init_wpa_cli () {
if [ -n "$WPA_ACTION_SCRIPT" ]; then
local WPA_CLI_OPTIONS
WPA_CLI_OPTIONS="-B -P $WPA_CLI_PIDFILE -i $WPA_IFACE"
wpa_msg verbose "$WPA_CLI_BIN $WPA_CLI_OPTIONS -p $WPA_CTRL_DIR
-a $WPA_ACTION_SCRIPT"
start-stop-daemon --start --oknodo $DAEMON_VERBOSITY \
--name $WPA_CLI_PNAME --startas $WPA_CLI_BIN --pidfile
$WPA_CLI_PIDFILE \
-- $WPA_CLI_OPTIONS -p $WPA_CTRL_DIR -a
$WPA_ACTION_SCRIPT
if [ "$?" != "0" ]; then
wpa_msg stderr "$WPA_CLI_BIN daemon failed to start"
return 1
else
wpa_msg verbose "force disconnect to assure that
wpa_cli receives CONNECTED event"
$WPA_CLI_BIN -P $WPA_CLI_PIDFILE -i $WPA_IFACE
disconnect
