Description Steven Ellis 2016-01-07 01:16:22 UTC
Description of problem:

Deploy RHEL Atomic Host 7.2 from ISO and update to version 7.2.1 via rpmostree. wpa-supplicant is running

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

RHEL Atomic 7.2.1

How reproducible:

Yes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Deploy from ISO
2. atomic host upgrade
3. reboot
4. ps -eaf | grep wpa

Actual results:

wpa-supplicant is running and should not be required for the majority of Atomic environments

Expected results:

# systemctl status wpa_supplicant.service
● wpa_supplicant.service - WPA Supplicant daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)

This is disabled in the latest 7.2 RHELAH tree:

-bash-4.2# systemctl status wpa_supplicant.service 
● wpa_supplicant.service - WPA Supplicant daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)

Closing as NEXTRELEASE

Oops...that should have said 7.3 RHELAH tree

Comment 6 Colin Walters 2016-09-14 21:02:11 UTC
So there's a comment in the spec file:

a54c5d45 (Dan Williams        2014-12-26  143) # Kept for RHEL to ensure that wired 802.1x works out of the box
a54c5d45 (Dan Williams        2014-12-26  144) Requires: wpa_supplicant >= 1:1.1

Which is different from Fedora.  It's true that it's now disabled and we can consider this fixed, I'd at some point like to consider not installing it by default and having 802.1x users install it.
