Package: hostapd
Version: 1:0.6.10-2
Severity: normal
Hostapd supports running with multiple configuration files. (I'm pretty sure
I didn't modify the init file before, so this is a change in the start up
process.) However the [ -r "$DAEMON_CONF" ] check assumes that only one file
would ever be used. Either it needs to just check for non-empty string, or
filter the contents of the variable (which seems like overkill). A message
(as #568181) would help too.
As an aside, I understand that my configuration is a little odd. I have
madwifi configured with two interfaces to avoid confusing Apple's OS X stack.
Having one interface exposing both PSK and Enterprise was just too confusing
for it.
