[pkg-wpa-devel] Non-roaming usage of the daemon: Radio kill switch

[Felix Homann]

Hi,

I have not found this discussed before on the list:

The so-called roaming mode is not only useful for actual roaming. Using the 
wpasuppplicant daemon together with ifupdownd I can easily switch on/off the 
wireless interface using the radio kill switch on my notebook. My machine 
connects to the (or a) network whenever I switch the radio on. The other 
appoaches seem to need me manually ifup'ing the interface. That's not very 
comfortable.

Regards,

Felix

BTW: Thanks for deleting my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf in one of the 
upgrades...Yes, there was valuable information in there :-(
