Dear Debain maintainer/users,
I am using wpa-supplicant in roaming mode through the wpa-roam stanza
in /etc/network/interfaces as the bug reported indicated. However, I
can not reproduce his bug on my laptop. The differences I see are:
-original reporter was using wpasupplicant in version 0.6.3-2, while I
am using 0.6.10-2.1
-original reported was using driver iwl3945 while I am using the
driver iwlagn
You will find at the end of this email a extract of a root session
showing the expected (working) behavior, with some configuration
information.
So I believe this bug has either been fixed since 2008 or is linked to
a particular wireless driver.
I hope this helped.
Erik
