[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#711058: wpasupplicant: running on wired connection doesn't send EAPOL logoff

[Martin Kraus]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 1.0-3+b2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

having wpasupplicant configured through /etc/network/interfaces doesn't send
EAPOL logoff when bringing down the interface therefore keeping the switchport
on the authenticatior in authorized state. 
I'm currently using a simple script that connects to the wpa_supplicant on the
interface and sends logoff manualy. It would be great if such a functionality 
could be integrated into the configuration scripts.
