[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#363347: wpasupplicant: ifdown doesn't work correctly when using wpacli-action-dhclient script

[Felix Homann]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.4.8-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

when using wpacli-action-dhclient from the examples directory like this:

# /etc/network/interfaces
iface wlan inet manual
        wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
	wpa-action /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpacli-action-dhclient

"ifdown wlan" won't take the network interface down correctly. 
"/bin/ip addr show wlan" will still show an inet line.

Regards,

Felix
