Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 2:2.6-12
Severity: important
Dear maintainer,
I have the following lines in my /etc/network/interfaces:
allow-hotplug wlp3s0
iface wlp3s0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa-roam.conf
# this line must always be here
iface default inet dhcp
In /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa-roam.conf I have a network with
id_str="foobar". Since "iface foobar" is not defined
in /etc/network/interfaces a fallback to dhcp should happen and hence I
do not have to explicitly enable dhcp for every network I connect to.
But with the new wpasupplicant in unstable this does not work anymore.
wpasupplicant from unstable (2:2.6-12): Logical iface is not set
correctly, not fallback to default and hence dhclient is not started:
wpa_action[30471]: WPA_IFACE=wlp3s0 WPA_ACTION=CONNECTED
wpa_action[30472]: WPA_ID=0 WPA_ID_STR=foobar WPA_CTRL_DIR=/run/wpa_supplicant
wpa_action[30477]: ifup wlp3s0=foobar
wpasupplicant from testing (2:2.4-1.1): Fallback to default as
expected, hence dhclient is started:
wpa_action[30806]: WPA_IFACE=wlp3s0 WPA_ACTION=CONNECTED
wpa_action[30807]: WPA_ID=0 WPA_ID_STR=foobar WPA_CTRL_DIR=/run/wpa_supplicant
wpa_action[30810]: network settings not defined for foobar in
/etc/network/interfaces
wpa_action[30811]: ifup wlp3s0=default
Best regards,
Julian
