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.

  Proposed patch is not the best solution, but I can not get working
  solution with "mounted MOUNTPOINT=/run" instead of "filesystem". If I
  use "mounted MOUNTPOINT=/run", I do not get any errors messages using
  "initctl check-config" and "init-checkconf -d /etc/init/network-
  interface.conf", init just does not want start on boot, there is black
  screen after bootloader even without 'quite splash' kernel parameters
  and with '--debug' kernel parameter, there is no records in logs.
