Description Olu Akins 2006-02-17 18:53:25 UTC
Description of problem:
Use the wpa_gui to detected available ssid, configure the encryption, save and
connect. Restart my system and launch wpa_gui. I discover I have no configured
ssid. Which means I have to start the whole process again

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
wpa_supplicant-0.5.1-4
wpa_supplicant-gui-0.5.1-4


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch wpa_gui, scan, type in encryption and save
2. Execute ifup wlan0, connected, then restart desktop
3. Launch wpa_gui, no already configured ssid from step 1
  
Actual results: Already configured ssid is not saved


Expected results: wpa_supplicant.conf should retain already configured ssid


Additional info: Rebuild the src.rpm file with the original wpa_supplicant.conf
and modified the spec file with buildrequire section. Tested and it is working
perfectly

I think you should set in wpa_supplicant.conf:

update_config=1

Hope this work.

Comment 3 Dan Williams 2006-03-09 19:39:46 UTC
Sounds good, thanks for the tip.  Fedora ships what upstream does, and upstream
doesn't include update_config=1 in their wpa_supplicant.conf.  Most people
should be using NetworkManager or somesuch tool for GUI network config anyway.
