Package: wpasupplicant Version: 0.5.5-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch When using wpa-bridge in /etc/network/interfaces, the interface should be added to the bridge before wpa_supplicant is started. Relying on the bridge to be configured via /etc/network/interfaces soon enough after the wireless interface(s) and being forced to ifdown and ifup the whole bridge (eventually including the wired interface over which you ssh'ed in...) does not seem right and is quite inflexible.
The attached patch fixes this. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-486 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages wpasupplicant depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.0.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libncurses5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.2-2 GNU readline and history libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8c-4 SSL shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.1-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip Versions of packages wpasupplicant recommends: ii dhcp3-client 3.0.4-13 DHCP Client -- no debconf information -- .'"`. /"\ | :' : Elmar Hoffmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / `. `' GPG key available via pgp.net against HTML email X `- & vCards / \
