I am running f8 with wpa_supplicant running with a stable wireless connection ( but had to start the supplicant during boot by using lines in /etc/rc.local ) The question I now have is related to the fact that if I simply shutdown the machine with wpa_supplicant running then I get a Stopping wpa_supplicant "failed" message during the shutdown sequence. Has any else seen this? It is not of any consequence since I can restart wpa_supplicant at the next boot but this implies that the shutdown sequencing in the initscripts is wrong? There are also known problems starting the wpa_supplicant daemon which are in buzgilla - maybe the two are related?
