[Bug 1144997] Re: Race condition on boot for Wi-Fi interfaces with wpa_supplicant

[Stéphane Graber]

The proposed patch won't work as it's not rare to have network
filesystems which would make this patch cause a deadlock.

I also doubt that /run is the problem there, or you're running a very weird setup that's not really supported under Ubuntu...
Ubuntu mounts / and /run from the initrd before starting upstart, so in theory it's impossible to get kernel events before /run is mounted and writable.

Title:
  Race condition on boot for Wi-Fi interfaces with wpa_supplicant

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Wi-Fi interfaces, that use configuration file /etc/network/interfaces
  and wpa_supplicant package, should be bring up after mounting /run,
  because wpa_supplicant uses /run mountpoint. In other case sometimes
  on boot Wi-Fi connection can be established properly, sometimes can
  not.
