[pkg-wpa-devel] /sbin/wpa_cli: wpa_cli unusable after reboot, possibly insserv related

The issue sound to me like a dependency or timing issue.  Can you
provide the outout from 'ls /etc/rc*.d' on the machine with the
problem, to document the problematic boot sequence?

Reading the report, I suspect the network isn't ready when the wpa
related init.d script is executed during boot.  Removing the hwclock
scripts would expose such problem as the network stack get less time
to get ready before it is needed.

If /var/ isn't mounted when a script need it, the script is missing a
dependency on $local_fs or $remote_fs.  Seeing the boot sequence might
reveal this.

Happy hacking,
