[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#488078: wpasupplicant: exit 0 in ifupdown.sh keeps wpa_cli and wpa_supplicant running

[Tino Keitel]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.6.3-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

when I do ifdown wlan0, the processes wpa_cli and wpa_supplicant are not
killed. A later ifup wlan0 doesn't work because wpa_supplicant doesn't seem
to re-associate, at least not within 3 minutes.

With the attached patch both processes are killed and ifup wlan0 works as
intended.

I use the wpa-roam feature.

Regards,
Tino
