@Dariusz: my wpa-roam settings point to the right place. my wifi does establish and wpa_state=COMPLETED

[Test Case] * Setup wpa-roam configuration based on what is in comment #6 * Wait until wpa_supplicant connects to a wifi network * Run ifconfig to check if the WLAN interface received dhcp info * Expected result: WLAN is fully configured according to dhcp settings * Actual result: WLAN is connected to WiFi but not configured [Regression Potential] * Fixed upstream, fix present in Xenial. * Debdiffs contain a backport of an upstream fix. [Other Info] * Original bug description: The following versions of ifupdown introduced a recursion check using "IFUPDOWN_<interface>" environment variables along with a new locking mechanism for ifup (see #1337873): 0.7.47.2ubuntu4.2 (in Trusty) 0.7.54ubuntu1.1 (in Wily) 0.7.54ubuntu2 (in Xenial) This recursion check breaks the wpa-roam feature of wpasupplicant, preventing it from loading the logical interface specified by id_str after associating with an AP. Specifically, after upgrading to one of the above ifupdown versions, the '/sbin/ifup -v --force "$WPA_IFACE=$WPA_LOGICAL_IFACE"' command run by wpa_action in functions.sh fails with an "ifup: recursion detected for parent interface wlan0 in post-up phase" error. To fix the issue, functions.sh needs to run `unset "IFDOWN_$WPA_IFACE"` before calling /sbin/ifup to prevent ifup from detecting the recursion. The attached patch implements this change.
