[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#373180: wpasupplicant: `ifdown wlan0` should do what `wpa_action stop` does now

[Modestas Vainius]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.5.3+20060522-2
Severity: wishlist

Hello, 

In my opinion, `ifdown wlan0` (without =id_str) should do what `wpa_action
wlan0 stop` does now, i.e. bring current logical network (if wpa_supplicant
connected to any) down and kill wpa_supplicant & friends.

Btw, please document a new roaming capability in README or better yet, NEWS.
In such a way, more users will discover it. Even a hint to `man
wpa_action` would be sufficient, imho.

And last, but not least, thanks for a good roaming solution. I really like it.
