Hi Florian,

At this point, could you also check:

  3b. The output of =E2=80=9Cpgrep -fa wpa_supplicant=E2=80=9D.

The PID file was probably removed by the second attempt to start the
=E2=80=98wpa-supplicant=E2=80=99 service.

Could you also try running (as root):

  while herd restart wpa-supplicant; do : ; done

to see the frequency at which the service fails to start?

Thanks!

Ludo=E2=80=99.
