Hi Florian,

At this point, could you also check:

  3b. The output of “pgrep -fa wpa_supplicant”.

The PID file was probably removed by the second attempt to start the
‘wpa-supplicant’ service.

Could you also try running (as root):

  while herd restart wpa-supplicant; do : ; done

to see the frequency at which the service fails to start?

Thanks!

Ludo’.
