/etc/network/if-up.d/wpasupplicant says:
# allow wpa_supplicant interface to be specified via wpa-iface
# useful for starting wpa_supplicant on one interface of a bridge
if [ -n "$IF_WPA_IFACE" ]; then
WPA_IFACE="$IF_WPA_IFACE"
else
WPA_IFACE="$IFACE"
fi
If I have an interfaces stanza:
iface bridge inet manual
pre-up ip link set up dev wlan0 # (Needed with iwl3945)
bridge_ports wlan0
wpa_iface wlan0
wpa_roam /etc/network/wpa_supplicant.conf
and
iface default inet dhcp
Then ifup br will bring up the bridge - and wpa_supplicant is started on
wlan0 that is all fine.
The problem is that wpa_supplicant configures IP on the wlan0 interface
not the bridge. So as it stands the wpa_iface option
is great idea but NBG :O)
I've not had a dig yet to see if I can see a simple or a good solution.
