Package: wpasupplicant Version: 0.6.3-1 Severity: normal Hi,
I'm running under debian sid with a laptop. My wifi card is an ipw2200. I'm using the 2.6.24.4 with the last firmware. The wifi card and the wifi interface work good. I have ifplugd and wpasupplicant on my laptop. ifplugd is a configuration daemon for ethernet devices : when a link beat is detected on the interfaces ifplugd launches ifupdown. On my pc ifplugd watches all the interfaces (eth0 = wired ; eth1 = wifi). When I plug a wired cable, ifplugd detects link beats an I get internet. Without any mention of wpasupplicant under /etc/network/interfaces, when I have an open network at proximity, ifplugd detects it and I get internet. Now I would like to integrate your great app wpasupplicant in this system. I have a WPA wifi network. So I have configured wpasupplicant to work with it. I have written a conf file for roaming with ssid et psk key. Then in my /etc/network/interfaces I have added : iface eth1 inet manual wpa-roam path_to_conf_file iface default inet dhcp I don't have any "auto eth1" or "allow-hotplug eth1" because ifplugd can't work with them. So now if I do sudo wpa_supplicant -ieth1 -c path_to_conf_file -d -K I have internet. then sudo wpa_action eth1 stop to deconfigure it. If I just do : sudo ifup eth1 I get internet. then sudo wpa_action eth1 stop to deconfigure it. But If I don't type these lines I don't get any connections. ifplugd doesn't detect any beat. I found something interesting : If I enter "sudo ifup eth1" and my wifi card if off (through the wifi hotkey), I don't get any connection (normal). But if I switch on my card, I get internet directly. And that's because wpasupplicant was launched by the ifup before. Then ifplugd detects beats and so I get internet. Is there a way to solve this problem ? Is there special wpasupplicant option for this ? Sorry if this bug report is not in the right place...
