I guess the first thing would be to try using the testsupplicant script
in whereami >0.3.23 or so.
wpa_supplicant is (along with every other thing :-) trying to manage all
networks, so the testsupplicant script:
- sets the card to encrypted, key ff-ffff-ffff, open.
- brings the interface up.
- starts wpa_supplicant (or reloads it if it is currently running).
- keeps looking to see if encryption is enabled within 15 seconds
- either succeeds of gives up.
Some things I don't know and would like to work out with this script:
- Should it use wpa_cli to figure if wpa_supplicant succeeds?
- Should it stop wpa_supplicant if it fails?
- Is 15 seconds long enough?

Andrew McMillan.
