<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Anyway, AFAICU the problem lies somewhere in the ifupdown software.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Having read <a href="http://pureperl.blogspot.fr/2013/01/the-debian-ifupdown-package-and.html">http://pureperl.blogspot.fr/2013/01/the-debian-ifupdown-package-and.html</a> I start to understand that ifupdown may not be extremely well maintained today.

<br>It seems that <span>Kyle Moffett, the author of the Blog entry is (was?) pretty unhappy with the source code he finally found for ifupdown and that he intended to do a 'Next Gen' version of ifupdown in Python. Unfortunately, it looks like his initiative has stalled since about a year ago.<br>

</div>You're on Debian or it's lesser descendents (Ubuntu, laught). And<br>
their scripts are involved into your problem. It's not<br>
wpa_supplicant's fault what you see!<br>
<br>
Now, you can use "ifup -v" for verbose operation and/or put a "set -x"<br>
to get a trace near the beginning of /etc/network/if-up.d/<script>. It<br>
forgot the actual name, but <script> might probably be named<br>
wpasupplicant or similar.<br>
