Title:
WiFi/ethernet bonding config fails to launch wpa_supplicant
Status in “ifenslave-2.6” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: ifupdown
Versions:
Kubuntu 9.10,
ifupdown 0.6.8ubuntu21
I'm trying to use bonding to provide seamless failover between the
wired and wireless interfaces. Wired>eth0 wireless>wlan1. Since
network manager doesn't support bonding yet, I stop it (# stop
network-manager) and (try to) manage the interfaces using ifup and
ifdown utilities. Using the example in
/usr/share/doc/ifenslave-2.6/examples/ethernet+wifi, I set up my
interfaces file:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet dhcp
bond-slaves eth0 wlan1
bond-mode 1
bond-miimon 100
bond-primary eth0
iface wlan1 inet manual
bond-give-a-chance 10
wpa-bridge bond0
wpa-ssid ASUS
wpa-psk ****
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-group CCMP TKIP
My problem is that with this setup, running ifup -v bond0 shows that
wpa_supplicant is never run, thus leaving the wireless interface down.
Is there something I'm missing? Using the interfaces file to connect
directly (no bonding interface) with wlan1 works fine.
