does it work if you killall connmand and wpa_supplicant before runing ifup wlan0? I would think the connman wpa_supplicant claims the device here. If thats the case, I am not sure if connman could _not_ claim a device and still work properly. I don't know if it would be better if you use wpa-ssid and -mode here instead of wireless as we would have two supplicants fighting then - but try anyway. Also, I don't see an obvious solution for the two supplicants case mentioned above; maybe teaching ifupdown how to configure a running wpasupplicant through dbus? But that feels pretty hard, because you cannot even query existing interfaces from wpasupplicant dbus interfaces atm. OK, I will be on vac for about 1 week now. CCed tony, who might be able to help on connman; also CCed Reinhard (siretart) who might be a first contact to talk to for the ifupdown wpasupplicant + dbus issue - or he mighthave other ideas. - Alexander -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
