Description:   Opened: 2006-11-12 02:12 0000 
Baselayout-1.13.0_alpha5,6,7 now read wpa_supplicant.conf from
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, rather than the
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf which previously used to work.  People using WPA will
then lose their connection without much indication of the problem on reboot. 
Whilst /etc/conf.d/net.example does offer the answer, it wasn't obvious that it
was a wpa_supplicant issue to being with.  The simplest solution seems like a
small einfo/ewarn during postinst...

Why not edit /lib/rcscripts/net/wpa_supplicant.conf and read lines 220-226.

You'll see we use config file locations as follows
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-$iface.conf
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf        
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

We use the first one we find. wpa_supplicant has never installed
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, so if it's being used then you created
it.

This is hardly a bug.

Sorry about that Roy, I've been using wpa_supplicant-0.5.5 since September when
it was released, but hadn't realised that it installs an
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file by default, seems you missed it
too.  With the previous baselayout this wasn't ever a problem, but since it now
causes a problem, I'm not sure how best to fix it other than a postinst
warning.  Can you think of any other solutions?

You're right, I forgot about that. I'll put a notice in the wpa_supplicant
ebuild

Fixed in wpa_supplicant-0.5.5
