[opensuse-factory] Update of wpa_supplicant to 0.6.9
Hi, Yesterday evening I made an update of my system to the latest version of Factory. This update also included the update of wpa_supplicant to version 0.6.9 (previous version was 0.6.4). After a restart, NetworkManager is indicating that the wireless interface is not available. After some checking it appears that NetworkManager can not communicate somehow with wpa_supplicant. In the NetworkManager logfile I see the following : May 10 17:41:51 hqvm000261 NetworkManager: <info> (wlan0): device state change: 1 -> 2 May 10 17:41:51 hqvm000261 NetworkManager: <info> (wlan0): bringing up device. May 10 17:41:51 hqvm000261 NetworkManager: <info> (wlan0): preparing device. May 10 17:41:51 hqvm000261 NetworkManager: <info> (wlan0): deactivating device (reason: 2). May 10 17:41:51 hqvm000261 NetworkManager: supplicant_interface_acquire: assertion `mgr_state == NM_SUPPLICANT_MANAGER_STATE_IDLE' failed Switching back to wpa_supplicant version 0.6.4 and everything works smoothly again. Before I file a bug for this, does anybody else also have the same experience ?

This is exactly what happened when I upgraded wpa_supplicant to the factory version. As with you, downgrading made it work again. I'm using a card that uses the iwl3945 driver. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Why would you use spa_supplicant? There's a native Linux driver for that chipset. Fred -- Gun-toting Americans are clearly more self-sufficient than the sissy Europeans.
