Re: Network Manager Fails to control Wi-Fi

Thanks Dan. But can you tell me how will Network-Manager find out PID
of wpa_supplicant? Is it via:/run/sendsigs.omit.d/wpasupplicant.pid ,
which is from below file? If yes, as long as I remove
"/sbin/wpa_supplicant" also, Network-Manager shouldn't be able to
control Wi-Fi, right?

cat /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.service
[D-BUS Service]
Name=fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1
Exec=/sbin/wpa_supplicant -B -P /run/sendsigs.omit.d/wpasupplicant.pid
-u -s -O /var/run/wpa_supplicant
User=root

-ram
