[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#567710: wpasupplicant: dbus config file wrong - doesn't associate

[Philipp Marek]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.6.9-3
Severity: normal

I think that the dbus configuration file at

  /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant.service

is wrong; the line

  Exec=/sbin/wpa_supplicant -u -s

doesn't work for me; no key gets set for the wireless interface, although
an strace shows that wpa_supplicant is reading the config file and setting
the ESSID and the frequency (via ioctl), but no keys.



If I replace the line with

  Exec=/sbin/wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/home.conf

I get a connection just fine.


Strangely it did work some days ago (1-3 weeks); but that's where I could
trace an error.


Regards,

Phil
