well, not able to check the code now, but I disabled the only program that would talk to connman/dbus (econnman) and it still continued, so I guess it was wpa_supplicant as you and Marcel guessed.

I need to investigate, I saw the news but I supposed it is just for newer hw... mine is an 3 years old macbook. will check later. -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -------------------------------------- MSN: [email protected] Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 _______________________________________________ connman mailing list [email protected] http://lists.connman.net/listinfo/connman
