First of all, i know that it's not the default way to configure wireless interfaces, but maybe it's a nice idea to create wpa_supplicant service file per device as an option. So you have the choice between /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant and this one. $ cat /etc/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant@.service [Unit] Description=WPA Unit Before=network.target Wants=network.target Requires=sys-subsystem-net-devices-%i.device After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-%i.device dbus.service [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/sbin/wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-%i.conf -i %i [Install] Alias=multi-user.target.wants/wpa_supplicant@%i.service
Assigning to the wpa_supplicant maintainer to decide what to do with this enhancement request. @ tmb As of today, most users no longer have unrestricted edit rights in our Bugzilla. Also, the bugs they file will be set to "UNCONFIRMED" by default. Enhancement requests aren't usually about bugs that need to be confirmed, but I'll leave changing the status to NEW (or to whatever you prefer), because don't understand enough about networking to understand this request.

@ Marja, What I really like about Mageia is that it's already using systemd-networkd/systemd-resolved, but is also using the /etc/init.d/network script. It's relatively easy to migrate to systemd only, Mageia is extremely flexible! The only problem here is wireless, the wpa_supplicant service unit file is configured to work with NetworkManager, and can not be used together with systemd-networkd. However, there is no reason to remove this file, if you add a wpa_supplicant service unit that works per network interface. If you have more questions, just mail me. Greetings from the Netherlands :)
s/UNCONFIRMED/NEW/ because I understand this enhancement request is needed to solve bug 17706 @ Frederik Greetings back from the Netherlands ;-)

I do not see how this request is required to solve bug 17706. It would be an enhancement there too. The main problem in 17706 is that Mageia Network Center still uses iwlist rather than iw to discovering networks.

I have no idea what I thought when I set 17706 to depend on this report.
