[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#771560: wpasupplicant: network configuration ignores id_str option

[Jan Christoph Uhde]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 2.3-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I am using plain wpa_supplicant for some time now and i have always been
very happy with it. Today I have done a dist-upgrade and my network
configuration stopped working. wpa_supplicant connects as expected to my
networks but then there is no configuration according to the id_str
done.

When i run wpa_supplicant manually i see that the correct network and
id_str is found:

318 wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 11:22:33:44:55:66
completed [id=2 id_str=home]

I you are not able to confim this behavior it would be very nice if you
could provide me with instructions on how to debug this issue.

Here is some configuration sample:

### /etc/network/interfaces
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
    pre-up /usr/bin/macchanger -A wlan0 && sleep 1
    wpa-driver wext
    wpa-roam /mnt/crypt/system/wpa-roam.conf
    mtu 1460

iface dhcp inet dhcp
    pre-up  /usr/local/sbin/change-network-name

iface home inet static
    pre-up  /usr/local/sbin/change-network-name hostname
    address 10.1.1.2
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 10.1.1.1
    dns-nameservers 10.1.1.1 192.168.1.1

### wpa-roam.conf
....
###Zuhause
network={
    ssid="Halterlose.Netzstruempfe"
    priority=5
    psk="****************************************"
    id_str="home"
}
....
