Done. Pushed 2.1.3, it's just 2.1.2 with only minor changes which all work here, so it shouldn't need long in [testing].

I can't even find it in git. Just look where wpa_supplicant is called in netcfg, it says "-wB" somewhere, replace that with "-B".

oops.

Now I got the 2.1.3-2 pkg. WLAN does work well but I get a weird warning: [root@laptop64 andyrtr]# LANG=C /etc/rc.d/net-profiles restart :: home.wlan down [DONE] :: home.wlan up [BUSY] chmod: cannot access `/tmp/wpa.wlan0': No such file or directory [DONE] any idea? is it caused by new netcfg or wpa_supplicant? -Andy

wpa_supplicant declared the 0.6 branch as stable, changes compared to the old version are:

- Disabled prism54, hostap, madwifi and IPW drivers, these should all be obsolete and work with the "wext" driver. If any problems occur, I can enable them again, but I think having only wext is enough. - Enabled the new nl80211 driver. This has additional features over the wext driver, like setting the country code (this driver currently only works with compat-wireless or maybe 2.6.29 release candidates) - Enabled readline support for wpa_cli - Enabled WPS (WiFi protected setup), I don't know if anyone really wants that, but it is there now.

wpa_supplicant_gui has also been considerably improved.

Please sign off.

So what's going on here? Can we move this? Does netcfg work now? netcfg gives me errors while booting, with /tmp/wpa.ath0 no acess, but it does work afterwards
