[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#376651: wrong default wpasupplicant driver (uses wired isntead of wext)

[Jacobo221]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.5.4-1

init_wpa_supplicant() in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wpasupplicant should not default to "wired" when $IFACE isn't in /proc/net/wireless' contents because the first time the interface is set up after a boot $IFACE might not yet be in /proc/net/wireless since the wpasupplicant script is run from if-pre-up.d and, therefore, the interface has never yet been set up.

The current result here is taht, when booting uo, the first time i set up the interface, it gets driver "wired". From then on, it gets "wext" (which is what should always be expected).

The solution, of course, is to set "wpa-driver wext", but since the docs say "the default is wext", either the docs are fixed, or the script has to be slightly modified.

Thanks for the good work.
