[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#833402: wpasupplicant: wpa_supplicant does not start because it could not read the interface p2p-dev-wlp1s0

[Jeremie Salvucci]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 2.5-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading the system, wpasupplicant does not start because
it could not read the interface p2p-dev-wlp1s0.  When running,

 wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp1s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

I get,

wpa_supplicant could not read the interface p2p-dev-wlp1s0.

Current solution involves downgrading to version 2.3-2.4 from the
testing branch.
