Description

Ivan Zakharyaschev 2014-03-20 12:31:24 MSK

# rpm -q NetworkManager wpa_supplicant 
NetworkManager-0.9.8.8-alt2.M70P.2
wpa_supplicant-2.0-alt2
# 

(In p7, Simply Linux.)

After various manipulations with the network driver, I wanted to restart NetworkManager to set up the wireless interface. (It is configured as an access point in NetworkManager's configuration files.)

But even after I issued "service NetworkManager stop" or "... restart", the old wpa_supplicant process wasn't stopped, and it was unable to perform authentcation in the network.

I had to manually kill wpa_supplicant, only after that and "service NetworkManager start", connections were made possible.

Here are probably the logs from the old wpa_supplicant:

NetworkManager should stop the old wpa_supplicant on "service NetworkManager stop".

The messages from wpa_supplicant appear to be from мар 20 11:49:47, but actually they are from much earlier AFAIU -- these messages come from the initial boot of the system several hours earlier.

For some reasons, they were printed to the journal only when I killed wpa_supplicant.

> stop".

No, it should not. NM withdraw the configuration from wpa_supplicant when it disconnects the interface. But from some point of time NM do not deconfigure interfaces on exit, may be it is the cause. In case of sysvinit I've added workaround in the init script and deconfigure all interfaces before NM is stopped (see NM_STOP_ONEXIT option in the /etc/sysconfig/NetworkManager), but in case of systemd this can't be done so easely (there is no something like ExecStopPre).
Please try to disconnect manually before restaring NetworkManager.service, does it help?

I hope it works nowaday.
