Hi Upgrading to 8.99.1 (from 7.99.52) on my laptop .. network didn't work; what was strange that I was being set up on 10.*.*.* and never had before. Firefox started complaining that I might need to login but no pages would load. It turns out that /libexec/dhcpcd-hooks/10-wpa_supplicant is marked as obsolete in the set lists; this means that postinstall will remove it, which is clearly wrong because *I* copied it there from the examples folder as I need it (otherwise dhcpcd connects to the nearest open network, which I don't want as it won't work for me)
I'll let the people who bitched to me about removing it come up with a solution to that problem. I'm sunning myself on holiday and I don't have the grey matter for serious though right now.
But it's probably not needed, see below.
I don't know how best to fix that.. clearly its at cross-purposes?
Look into the wpa_supplicant interface matching support documented in wpa_supplicant(8).
Hint: wpa_supplicant_flags="-M -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf" or wpa_supplicant_flags="-M -i iwn* -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf" Roy
