WiFi Settings overwritten on boot

[alsutton]

Currently the wifi settings in the froyo install are overwritten by those in the ubi hidden partition.

This should be resolved so wifi settings are correctly stored.

Just comment in init.rc:
copy /mnt/ubi/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

Replying to Gaap:

Just comment in init.rc:
copy /mnt/ubi/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

for first boot i think that you need an empty file at
/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

I think we should try to modify the code so that it doesn't overwrite the file if it already exists. As I'd like to keep the feature of copying existing user config over. It's very convenient and makes for an seamless experience. (Advanced users might even want to symlink both files so that changes are automaticaly propagating in both directions)
with do_exec not working and 'if' not supporting all options this might not be that straight forward though.

Maybe a command like -n for "cp" to prevent override.

The init.rc language doesn't have a "copy if does not exist".

An empty wpa_supplicant.conf does not appear to allow the WiFi? code to work resulting in an error when starting WiFi? from the Android settings.

If it's just a problem with wpa_supplicant.conf, there's in fact no problem because we can recreate our new one.

Bubu did the magic;
