[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#390884: doesn't work well with acpi-support

[Per Olofsson]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.5.5-1
Severity: normal

wpasupplicant currently does not work very well with acpi-support,
when suspending/resuming the system. The problem is that acpi-support
does ifdown on all interfaces when suspending and then ifup them when
resuming, which doesn't work with wpasupplicant.

I'm aware of #373180, and ifupdown should probably be fixed to be able
to handle these things. But a workaround would still be good, by
adding some script to /etc/acpi/{suspend,resume}.d/. Or maybe it
belongs in the acpi-support package. I'm not sure how to do this
actually, I tried to but it seemed to fail on some race condition.
