What is the status of this with latest versions? Looks fixed in my system... |
If I install net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.6.9 the emerge tells me: " * If this is a clean installation of wpa_supplicant, you * have to create a configuration file named * /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf * * An example configuration file is available for reference in * /usr/share/doc/wpa_supplicant-0.6.9/ * WARNING: your old configuration file /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf * needs to be moved to /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf >>> Auto-cleaning packages..." If I comply with the WARNING: and move /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, I get the following errors messages: zippy ~ # mv /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/ zippy ~ # /etc/init.d/wpa-supplicant restart * Stopping WPA Supplicant Daemon... [ ok ] * Starting WPA Supplicant Daemon... Failed to read or parse configuration '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'. * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant' * Failed to start wpa-supplicant [ !! ] * ERROR: wpa-supplicant failed to start Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.6.9 2. Comply with the WARNING message 3. Restart (or start) /etc/init.d/wpa-supplicant Actual Results: zippy ~ # /etc/init.d/wpa-supplicant restart * Stopping WPA Supplicant Daemon... [ ok ] * Starting WPA Supplicant Daemon... Failed to read or parse configuration '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'. * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant' * Failed to start wpa-supplicant [ !! ] * ERROR: wpa-supplicant failed to start Expected Results: /etc/init.d/wpa-supplicant should read its configuration file in the new location.
