I'm trying to configure wpa_supplicant to be used with a wired connection. Using all ~amd64. I'm having some trouble with the init scripts detecting the association. That is, wpa_cli status reports a successful association, but the net script always times out. I eventually tracked down the place where it fails. It's in the wpa_supplicant_associate() function, in the loop starting at line 158. The test if [[ -n ${actfile} ]] ; then is allways true, so it loops until the timeout... I've tested ${actfile} just before that test, and it is always set to "/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_cli.sh". I really don't know what kind of info would help here, so please request it as needed.
Apparently it also happens in my wireless connection (not much field proof though, as I only use it at the university). This bug prevents the dhcp client from being run. If you call it by hand it does get an address, and the link is usable. Strangely, it works fine if the interface is started automatically at boot (I.E. for the first time). So my workaround now is to reboot the machine to get wireless working..
What baselayout version is this with?
I'm using all ~amd64, so it's baselayout-1.12.9. The only active use flag is "unicode".
Similar problems on wireless. I'm using an Intel IPW2915 (ABG) adapter to connect to a WPA2 PSK (CCMP) LAN.

Also, my wpa_supplicant use flags are the same as yours.
Fixed in baselayout-1.12.10
Hum.. It does fix the bug, but now I seem to be having some trouble with the "first time" connection. I've only made some preliminary tests on my wired interface, but will reopen this bug if it gets confirmed. Thanks!
No, false alarm. It's indeed working correctly. ifplugd is the one who's not working as expected. I'll file a bug report as soon as I find where it's failing. Cheers, Renato
