Hello there,
I'm facing a very strange issue on my RaspberryPi 4 runing Alpine Linux
3.12 in aarch64 architecture.
I've enable wpa_supplicant in default runlevel but it does not start
correctly at boot and the /var/log/messages is spammed with this:
Jul 2 22:41:42 figue daemon.info supervise-daemon[2688]: Supervisor command line: supervise-daemon wpa_supplicant --start /sbin/wpa_supplicant -- -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Jul 2 22:41:42 figue daemon.warn supervise-daemon[2689]: respawned "/sbin/wpa_supplicant" too many times, exiting
On the other hand, if I exactly run this command as root, it works fine:
# RC_SVCNAME=wpa_supplicant supervise-daemon wpa_supplicant --start /sbin/wpa_supplicant -- -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_suppliant.conf
Then in /var/log/messages I get:

The only thing I've edited is to disable dbus in
/etc/conf.d/wpa_supplicant, the config file looks like this:
wpa_supplicant_args=""
wpa_supplicant_dbus=no
Any ideas what's going on here? I've tried some googl'ing but was unable
to find a similar issue.
Regards,
