[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#452836: wpasupplicant: Kill switch doesn't take interface down

[Michal Sojka]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.6.0-4
Severity: normal

Hi,

if I press the kill switch on my laptop with ipw3945, the interface is
not taken down. It means, that even if I'm connected to a wired network,
I'm not able to use it, because there are invalid routes in the routing
table. I've found an workaround, but it is not very convenient. If I
press the kill switch two times (i.e. I switch wifi on again and then
quickly off), then the interface is taken down.

In NetworkManager, the kill switch works as I expect, but I cannot use
it to take care of my network interfaces, because its capabilities are
to limited for my needs.

Regards
        Michal
