Package: wpasupplicant Version: 0.6.0~cvs20070224-3 I'm forwarding a bug from ubuntu here so that it doesn't get lost somewhere. It seems that we also have this in debian.
--- Begin Message ---Public bug reported: Package: wpasupplicant Version: 0.5.7-0ubuntu2 In Edgy /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes.gz used to say to put: wpa-conf managed in an /etc/network/interfaces stanza for an interfaces that were using WPA managed mode. However, in Feisty, doing this causes a failure... which is silent depending on the configuration. Therefore, wpasupplicant can mysteriously fail to start after an Edgy -> Feisty upgrade. I don't see this change documented anywhere (NEWS, changelog, README.modes, ...) and the section on "Hidden ssids" in the above README still has a reference to this configuration option. So, I guess it is a documentation bug... Even though I hit this for the 2nd time it still took a while to work it out... :-) peace & happiness, martin ** Affects: wpasupplicant (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- "wpa-conf managed" appears no longer supported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119415 You received this bug notification because you are a bug contact for wpasupplicant in ubuntu.
