[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#692414: network-manager: /etc/init.d/network-manager stop leaves wpa_supplicant behind

[Cyril Brulebois]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.4.0-6
Severity: important

Hi,

“/etc/init.d/network-manager stop” indeed drop all networking,
but the wpa_supplicant instance it spawned is left behind. Not a
practical issue when e.g. switching to wicd, but still not nice.

The good news is that one gets reused (there's no second one
started) when network-manager is started again.

See #692413 for the other way around.

Mraw,
KiBi.
