[arch-dev-public] [signoff] wpa_supplicant 0.6.8-1
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.

Pierre noted that this version removes the "-w" option and thus breaks netcfg. We need to patch netcfg to not use the -w option. James, can you put an updated version to testing? I also noticed I accidently built this with support for "atmel" and "ndiswrapper" drivers, which are probably also obsolete. The wext driver should at least cover ndiswrapper support.

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".

It's not in [testing] because I forgot to run the db script _again_.... 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

So what's going on here? Can we move this? Does netcfg work now?

netcfg was chmod'ing the wpa_supplicant config file before it was created. Didn't effect functionality, but meant that the generated wpa_supplicant config (including key) was world-readable. I uploaded a -2 release with a quick patch to fix this, though havn't put an x86_64 build up yet. James
