commit 4f61bbbd8e9278c75f29e7853ae8922717261d2d Author: drkhsh Date: Thu Feb 12 22:46:02 2026 +0100 wifi: always retry ioctl for ifindex ifindex() caches the result of ioctl(SIOCGIFINDEX) and never retries it, since the interface name strcmp succeeds after the first call. if the interface does not exist when slstatus starts (e.g. iwd with default config destroys/recreates interfaces depending on service state), the ioctl fails and the stale result is returned on all subsequent calls. based on a patch by ryhpez, with input from Taha Medhous diff --git a/components/wifi.c b/components/wifi.c index 23af201..8b33baa 100644 --- a/components/wifi.c +++ b/components/wifi.c @@ -110,10 +110,10 @@ } if (strcmp(ifr.ifr_name, interface) != 0) { strcpy(ifr.ifr_name, interface); - if (ioctl(ifsock, SIOCGIFINDEX, &ifr) != 0) { - warn("ioctl 'SIOCGIFINDEX':"); - return -1; - } + } + if (ioctl(ifsock, SIOCGIFINDEX, &ifr) != 0) { + warn("ioctl 'SIOCGIFINDEX':"); + return -1; } return ifr.ifr_ifindex; }
