Public bug reported:
Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.5.7-0ubuntu2
In Edgy /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes.gz used to say to put:
wpa-conf managed
in an /etc/network/interfaces stanza for an interfaces that were using
WPA managed mode.
However, in Feisty, doing this causes a failure... which is silent
depending on the configuration. Therefore, wpasupplicant can
mysteriously fail to start after an Edgy -> Feisty upgrade.
I don't see this change documented anywhere (NEWS, changelog,
README.modes, ...) and the section on "Hidden ssids" in the above
README still has a reference to this configuration option. So, I
guess it is a documentation bug...
Even though I hit this for the 2nd time it still took a while to work
it out... :-)
peace & happiness,
martin
