[Andrei Popescu]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.6.3-2
Severity: normal
File: /sbin/wpa_cli


Hello,

After a reboot if I try to use wpa_cli I get:

This doesn't seem to affect other functionality of wpasupplicant, I just 
can't use wpa_cli. I can make it work if I ifdown/ifup the interface.  
Here some more info
