interface is managed by wpa_action?

Severity: wishlist
Hi Kel,
while tuning my suspend and resume scripts, I noticed that acpi-support
contains code like this in /etc/acpi-support/suspend.d/55-down-interfaces.sh
# Find the currently running network interfaces...
INTERFACES=`/sbin/ifconfig | awk '/^[^ ]+/ {print $1}'`
# And shut them down
for x in $INTERFACES; do
ifdown $x down;
ifconfig $x down;
done
This of course fails if the interface is controlled by wpa-roam aka
/sbin/wpa_action. I hardcased the check here for my interface, but it
would be nice if acpi-support could be improved and call `wpa_action $x
stop` by itself. For this we need to provide a reliable check if the
interface is managed by wpa_action or not.
