My system is sid. I have ifplugd and wpasupplicant installed.
My wlan0 connects without any problem with the following
/etc/network/interfaces file
lvgdell600m:/mnt/wind/software/Linux/dell_sid# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
# wireless interface
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless_essid mohan
wireless_key XXXXXXXXXX
wireless_mode managed
post-up ifmetric wlan0 5
But I thought to use wpasupplicant so that it can work, where there is
no wep Hotspot.
Hence I installed wpasupplicant. It was working before the new
wpasupplicant version 0.4.8-1 installed. I have also copied
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.dpkg-bak file to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.
I have the following /etc/network/interfaces.
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
# wireless interface
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
post-up ifmetric wlan0 5
I corrected line wpa-conf as said.
I am giving below /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
lvgdell600m:/mnt/wind/software/Linux/dell_sid# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
# Minimal /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to associate with open
# access points. Please see

but still wlan0 is not getting connected. I get in log as below

Can you point out where am I going wrong?
How wpasupplicant is started in the new scheme of things? entry in
/etc/network/interfaces is sufficient?
