The following sequence of events seems to work. One point is that, in
-wpa_supplicant.conf-, the current network is not "disabled", so, on
restarting, -wpa_supplicant- will automatically attempt to reconnect. I
think that's how it is, anyway.
-wpa_cli- will not run without -wpa_supplicant- running, basically (I
think) because the control socket (-/var/run/wpa_supplicant/eth1-) is
not present. Latest source code seems to add an --r- option to keep it
running regardless.
SqueezePlay appears to be unfazed, it seems to re-establish its
connection to the control socket when -wpa_supplicant- is restarted.
(See -/tmp- for extant sockets created by -wpa_cli- and SqueezePlay).
But I don't know how robust it all is...
Sourcing this script:
Code:
--------------------
killall wpa_cli
killall wpa_supplicant
# Note - udhcpc is left running
/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -t
/usr/sbin/wpa_cli -B -a/etc/network/wpa_action
# I don't seem to need this, because it takes about 10 seconds
# for a reconnection to occur. So wpa_cli is already running
# by the time a "CONNECT" message is generated, and it will
# trigger wpa_action to do this.
#kill -usr1 `cat /var/run/udhcpc.eth1.pid`
--------------------
Gives this log output:
