--- Begin Message ---Package: wpasupplicant Version: 0.4.8-3 Severity: normal Hi, when using wpacli-action-dhclient from the examples directory like this: # /etc/network/interfaces iface wlan inet manual wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf wpa-action /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpacli-action-dhclient "ifdown wlan" won't take the network interface down correctly. "/bin/ip addr show wlan" will still show an inet line.
