When I boot up my Android Device and go to WiFi settings, the status of WiFi remains "Turning Wi-Fi on" forever. I looked it up in logcat logs, and below is the error that I see.

Question: How can I enable androidAndroid to use some other interface other than wlan0?

1)I tried to edit ctrl_interface parameter in /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf using adb pull and adb push to other interfaces shown by netcfg but Android still tries to use wlan0.

2)I also tried to start wpa_supplicant daemon using the below command.

/system/bin/wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -idummy0 -c/system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

but this gives an error.

E/wpa_supplicant( 5390): dummy0: Failed to initialize driver interface
