This is a perfectly valid use case when the wpasupplicant package is removed but not purged. The wpasupplicant-ifupdown script is installed as a conffile, because we expected that local users might want to do some changes to it. /etc/network/if-*.d is installed in /etc/ as conffile for a reason after all. What we could do however is to move the ifupdown conffile to /var/lib/wpasupplicant or something and exit with exitcode 1 to indicate to ifupdown that starting the interface has failed. After skimming the ifupdown code, it seems that /etc/init.d/networking (which calls 'ifup -a') *should* then retry to 'up' the interface. Kel, how do you think about this idea? -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- wpasupplicant doesn't start when the network start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44194 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
