--- Begin Message ---Package: wpasupplicant Version: 2:2.6-7 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, Since the last upgrade of wpasupplicant, it does not anymore honor the 'default' interface config in /etc/network/interfaces (it is supposed to fallback to it as stated in wpasupplicant documentation). So dhclient is not called, and IP is not configured. I have the following stanza in /etc/default/interfaces: ------- auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet manual wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf wpa-roam-default-iface default iface default inet dhcp ------- And the following stanza in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf ------- network={ ssid="sid5G" psk="*****" priority=32 } ------- Before latest update to 2.6-7, it properly resorted to 'iface default inet dhcp' in /etc/netwpork/interfaces in the following cases: a) have no id_str option in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf (as stated above) b) have id_str option in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, but the corresponding 'iface XXX inet dhcp' is missing from /etc/default/interfaces And it matched the documented behaviour. Now after the upgrade with version 2.6-7, the ONLY way to make wpasupplicant to automatically invoke dhclient, is using the id_str option for each the network config AND having the corresponding iface XXX inet dhcp' stanza in /etc/default/interfaces . So for example, this is what ONLY now works: stanza in /etc/default/interfaces: ------- auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet manual wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf wpa-roam-default-iface default iface default inet dhcp iface one-of-my-networks inet dhcp ------- plus the following stanza in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf ------- network={ ssid="sid5G" psk="*****" id_str="one-of-my-networks" priority=32 } ------- But providing separate id_str for all possible networks in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and their corresponding "iface XXX inet dhcp" entries in /etc/network/interfaces is too clumsy to do with each known network (and unnecessarily clogs with extra entries both the interfaces and wpa_supplicant.conf files). And also does not anymore follow the roaming mode documented behaviour in /usr/share/doc/wpa_supplicant/README.modes.gz Thank you! -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.13.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE= (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages wpasupplicant depends on: ii adduser 3.116 ii libc6 2.25-2 ii libdbus-1-3 1.12.2-1 ii libnl-3-200 3.2.27-2 ii libnl-genl-3-200 3.2.27-2 ii libpcsclite1 1.8.22-1 ii libreadline7 7.0-3 ii libssl1.1 1.1.0g-2 ii lsb-base 9.20170808 wpasupplicant recommends no packages.
