[arch-dev-public] Switch to wpa_supplicant development branch?
I just tried wpa_supplicant 0.6.7. Right now we have the 0.5 (stable) branch of wpa_supplicant in our repositories. The benefit of the 0.6 branch are: - WPS support - The qt GUI has been improved a lot - Supports the nl80211 interface which can be used instead the wext driver for wireless extensions. This includes the possibility to set the country code in the wpa_supplicant configuration file. I don't know how buggy the development branch is, I can only say that it worked for me without any problems. Opinions?

It sounds fine to me. I mean, if you were suggesting svn snapshots or something, that might be different, but considering they have actual "releases", it's probably stable enough.
