When using wpa_supplicant for network management during network start it creates few files in /var/run directory. Some of them (probably /var/run/wpa_supplicant/*) are used by wpa_cli and wpa_gui programs to access wpa_supplicant status info and to control it. After resume these files and the wpa_supplicant directory are created with wrong permissions and thus inaccessible to users. wpa_cli and wpa_gui started under a user account are not able to access them and does not show any status. After fresh start or manual network restart (/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart) -- correct permissions: # ll -d /var/run/wpa_* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 Nov 24 18:13 /var/run/wpa_cli-wlan0.pid drwxr-x--- 2 root users 4.0K Nov 24 18:13 /var/run/wpa_supplicant -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 Nov 24 18:13 /var/run/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.pid After resume -- wrong permissions: # ll -d /var/run/wpa_* -rw------- 1 root root 5 Nov 24 17:53 /var/run/wpa_cli-wlan0.pid drwx------ 2 root users 4.0K Nov 24 17:53 /var/run/wpa_supplicant -rw------- 1 root root 5 Nov 24 17:53 /var/run/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.pid Using sys-power/hibernate-script-2.0-r1 for hibernating and net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.6.9 for network management. Stable system with sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.13.
Still valid with a fully updated system?
