Do you know which line is to start wpa_supplicant?
Thanks

wpa_supplicant service.
I tried to run "setprop ctrl.start wpa_supplicant" manually, but
wpa_supplicant is not run.
I've added something in init.rc:
service wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant -Dwext -i eth1
-C/data/misc/wifi/sockets -c/system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
user bluetooth
group bluetooth net_bt_admin
disabled
What's wrong?
Thanks
Richard

properties.c
this api will send property information for init process through
socket.
with the latest init source code, init shows error message when fails
to start service.
check existance of /dev/socket/property_service and update init with
the latest one.

/dev/socket/property_service
I can't see any error message.

# start wpa_supplicant
This start command just do property_set("ctl.start", service_name)
And get the system property of "init.svc.wpa_supplicant".

After "start wpa_supplicant", "getprop init.svc.wpa_supplicant" show
"restarting".
Thanks

init.svc.wpa_supplicant" shows "running".
In case of termination of service execution, status becomes "stopped".
And when service is not oneshot
mode, init will try to restart this service again.
First debug your wpa_supplicant by executing it from debugger or
strace.

have the right permission for wpa_supplicant to read and write.
