[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#360387: wpasupplicant: please support the "old" daemon mode as an configuration option

[Joerg Platte]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.4.8-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

I'm using wpa_supplicant and ifplugd. Each time, wpa_supplicant is able to
associate with one of my preconfigured networks, ifplugd detects this and invokes
"ifup interface". In /etc/network/interfaces I'm using some mappings to
select the current network based on the ESSID (different configurations with
different debian mirrors and proxy settings exist):

mapping ath0 wlan0
        script /usr/local/sbin/guessnet-wlan
        map HRZ\ WAVE-LAN wlan-hrz
        map jako wlan-jako
        map POLLE.home wlan-polle

With the newly created configuration modes I can't use this configuration
any more (please give me a hint if I'm wrong :-). Can you provide the "old"
startup links and configuration file as a third option? Otherwise I must
simply reactivate the old scripts, but this may result in some problems in
the future which may occur on package changes.
