Since upgrading to 6.10.1-1, wpa_supplicant is no longer automatically
started when I run dhcpcd.  Everything works fine if I start wpa_supplicant
by hand.

I'm starting dhcpcd by hand, not from an init script, and the version of
wpa_supplicant is 2.3-2.3.

The next release of wpa_supplicant will be able to hotplug itself:

So then you can have the same functionality.

Hi Juliusz,

Can you confirm if Roy's solution works for you in Buster?

You do have the file

/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks/10-wpa_supplicant

right? And if it is a symlink, it points to an existing file?
