Dear list,
With Android 7, Running any wpa_cli (v2.6-devel-7.1.1) command is returning this error :
wpa_cli IFNAME=wlan0 status
Failed to connect to non-global ctrl_ifname: wlan0 error: No such file or directory
This could be avoided when running "wpa_cli -p /data/system/wpa_supplicant IFNAME=wlan0 status"
Comparing wpa_cli version "wpa_cli v2.5-devel-6.0.1" (in Android 6) to "wpa_cli v2.6-devel-7.1.1" (in Android 7) we found that In Andoird.mk, DCONFIG_CTRL_IFACE_DIR is changed from "/data/system/wpa_supplicant" to "/data/misc/wifi/sockets "
Reverting this change fixes the issue,
Could you please confirm if this is an intended behavior for Android platforms? Or Should we apply the attached patch ?
Many thanks,
Amr.
