http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1183495 Bug ID: 1183495 Summary: installing/updating wpa_supplicant disrupts my wireless network Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.2 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: per@computer.org QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- In the last couple of days, $SUBJ has hit me twice, so I had to wonder if I could somehow prevent it?

In reply to my posting above, Andrei Borzenkov suggested: On update wpa_supplicant runs systemctl try-restart wpa_supplicant.service. Workarounds are - globally disable restart of any service (see /etc/sysconfig/services, DISABLE_RESTART_ON_UPDATE) - set YAST_IS_RUNNING=instsys before running zypper (affects all packages in this zypper run) Irrespectively I would open bug report to discuss whether wpa_supplicant should be exempt from restarting on update.
