Tried to get e backtrace after recompile but I did not succeed, whatever I tried. Then I hypothesized wpa_supplicant could be stopped by some different process. I started fiddeling with whereami and ifplugd. Deinstalling whereami did not solve my problem so I modified the configuration of ifplugd which was ,----[ /etc/default/ifplugd ]-- | INTERFACES="all" | HOTPLUG_INTERFACES="all" | | ARGS="-q -f -u0 -d10 -w -I" | SUSPEND_ACTION="stop" `---- Now it is ,----[ /etc/default/ifplugd ]-- | INTERFACES="eth0 eth1" | HOTPLUG_INTERFACES="eth0" | | ARGS="-q -f -u0 -d10 -w -I" | SUSPEND_ACTION="stop" `---- where eth0 is my (wired) ethernet and eth1 the Intel Wireless LAN Adapter. I did not test the ethernet but WLAN runs fine for nearly 24 hours without wpa_supplicant disappearing somehow. I will test this setting longer ... Actually, I believe, the problem I reported is not a bug of wpa_supplicant, but a bad interaction of wpa_supplicant and ifplugd causing wpa_supplicant to be killed during bad WLAN connecticity. If others can reproduce this behaviour it may be useful to add this to the package's documentation.
