[Buildroot] [PATCH v2] package/wpa_supplicant: Fix systemd service stop

[Arnout Vandecappelle]

  Subject line is not entirely accurate, as far as I understand, it's not really 
started so I think it should just be "Fix systemd service for new DBus bus name".

  This repetition of the subject line is not needed.

  I don't think this is very clear, let me try to rephrase it.

By default, the systemd service supplied with the wpa_supplicant package comes 
with the old DBus bus name. However, when the new bus name is used by 
wpa_supplicant, systemd will not be able to detect its appearance on the bus. 
Therefore it will terminate the service again after some timeout, because 
systemd assumes it is malfunctioning.

To fix this, make sure that the correct BusName property is used.


  Otherwise looks good to me. However, I'd prefer to have an upstreamable patch 
instead that uses the CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE_DBUS_NEW config knob to set it correctly 
in wpa_supplicant/Makefile.

  The comment should be clarified as well.
