Package: wpasupplicant Version: 0.5.5-3 Severity: normal Tags: patch I have configured a roaming wpa configuration on my laptop using
allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet manual wpa-driver wext wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf in /etc/network/interfaces. If a disconnect event occurs, wpa_action is called with the action DISCONNECTED, which "ifdown"s the interface and then should immediately re-enable the scanning mode by calling /etc/wpa_supplicant/functions.sh::if_post_down_up the problem is, at least in my case, that the link is _down_ afterwards, so wpasupplicant is not able to scan further. This seems to be caused by the interface not being completely downed yet when ifdown finishes; putting a 'sleep 1' into functions.sh::ifdown immediately after the call to /sbin/ifdown "solves" this problem.
