[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#882716: 2.6-7 does not fallback the default interface config, only id_str plus explicit interface config works

[manul]

Package: wpasupplicant
Followup-For: Bug #882716

Dear Maintainer,

Thanks for the quick reply.

As you suggested, I am currently running the version 2:2.6-5 from snapshots.debian.org experimental:

root at hpsiddie:/home/manul# apt-cache policy wpasupplicant
wpasupplicant:
  Installed: 2:2.6-5
  Candidate: 2:2.6-7
  Version table:
     2:2.6-7 500
        500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid/main amd64 Packages
 *** 2:2.6-5 100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


There is no bug in this version, it correctly falls back to default interface in /etc/network/interfaces, and initiates dhclient automatically.


Here are the current stanzas (no id_str in wpasupplicant config, and only default interface configured in /etc/network/interfaces)

/etc/network/interfaces:
------------
iface wlan0 inet manual
        wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
        wpa-roam-default-iface default

iface default inet dhcp
------------

/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
------------
network={
        ssid="sid5G"
        psk="*****"
        priority=32
}
------------

So all is ok here with the previous version 2:2.6-5 from snapshots.debian.org experimental.

Thanks again.
