Hi,
I’m running wpa_supplicant on my FreeRunner in roaming mode, and with
allow-hotplug to start it. It starts fine, but when then the WLAN
interface is powered off and disappears (and udev/hotplug/something
calls ifdown eth0), wpa_supplicant is still running.
This is not surprising, given that wpa_action take over ifup/ifdown, and
ifdown does not work any more, but it would be nice if this could be
improved. Perferably by making ifdown eth0 work as expected. Have you
considered setting an environment variable when calling ifdown from
wpa_action, to be able to distinguish later?
Greetings from Caceres,
Joachim
