Hello, I'm trying to run wpa_supplicant in privilege separation mode. I run "wpa_priv -c /myprivdir -- nl80211:wlan0". Then I run "wpa_supplicant -D privsep -p priv_dir=/myprivdir -i wlan0". Everything is starting fine, but L2 fails. Debug messages say: wpa_driver_privsep_set_param: param='priv_dir=/myprivdir' Add interface wlan0 to a new radio N/A wpa_driver_privsep_get_mac_addr L2: sendmsg(cmd): No such file or directory L2: Failed to register with wpa_priv A strace shows that the L2 sendmsg is sent to /var/run/wpa_priv/wlan0 instead of /myprivdir/wlan0. And indeed, in src/l2_packet/l2_packet_privsep.c, in the l2_packet_init function, I can see that priv_dir is by default hardcoded to "/var/run/wpa_priv" (which is normal), but there is no reading of driver_param to replace the default with the user-provided priv_dir value. I did not provide a patch because I've just started looking at the code and I'm unsure of the correct way to fix this, so I figured a simple bug-report would do.
