Description Sergei LITVINENKO 2007-12-14 15:00:00 UTC 
Description of problem:

Wrong order of starting services: network(10 90), wpa_supplicant(12 88),
messagebus(22 85) cause problem to start wifi connection at boot time if
wpa_supplicant is required.

Right order, as I understand, should be: messagebus(08 92), wpa_supplicant(09
91), network(10 90).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
wpa_supplicant-0.5.7-16.fc8
dbus-1.1.2-7.fc8
initscripts-8.60-1

How reproducible:
100%.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Setup autorization on wifi access point (as example WPA2_Personal)
2. Setup autorization wifi connection by wpa_supplicant on Linux host
3. Setup wifi interface by /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-xxxx as example
cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0
DEVICE=wlan0
TYPE=Wireless
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
4. Reboot the system.

Actual results:
wifi interface can not receive IP address (timeout)
wpa_supplicant is stopped

Expected results:
wpa_supplicant is started
wifi interface have IP address by DHCP.

The initscripts are ordered according to the dependencies specified in them.
Comment 2 Oscar Valdez 2007-12-17 20:11:31 UTC 
I've noticed the same since upgrading to Fedora 8. On Fedora 7, I could start
wpa_supplicant during boot, now on 8, I can't. The diff between the two init
scripts is as follows:

# diff /tmp/wpa_supplicant (f7) /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant (f8)
21,23d20
< # Check that networking is up.
< [ "$NETWORKING" = "no" ] && exit 0
< 
30,31d26
< [ "$INTERFACES" != "" ] || exit 0
< [ "$DRIVERS" != "" ] || exit 0
34,35c29,30
<       echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
<       daemon $prog -c $conf $INTERFACES $DRIVERS -B
---
>       echo -n $"Starting $prog: $conf, $INTERFACES, $DRIVERS"
>       daemon $prog -c $conf $INTERFACES $DRIVERS -B -u -f
Comment 3 Oscar Valdez 2007-12-22 10:50:54 UTC 
The error message when wpa_supplicant is started at boot is:

Iniciando wpa_supplicant: /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf,
,dbus_bus_get[ctrl_iface_dbus]: No such file or directory.

(After /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, there is a comma, a space, and
another comma).

This did not occur with Fedora 7.

Said file has the following contents (key removed)

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel

network={
        ssid="andunie"
        proto=RSN
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=CCMP
        group=TKIP
        psk=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
}
