Package: wpasupplicant Version: 1.0-3 wpa_supplicant doesn't enable Access Point mode compile-time configuration option anymore. The debian/changelog file says AP mode was enabled in version 0.7.3-1, but doesn't mention the feature being intentionally disabled after that.
Access point mode is needed by ConnMan to enable tethering over WiFi. It is also needed by any other network management software, e.g. NetworkManager, which intends to support tethering over WiFi. Thus it would be nice to have it enabled by default. Here is a patch to re-enable AP mode: diff -ru a/debian/config/wpasupplicant/kfreebsd b/debian/config/wpasupplicant/kfreebsd --- wpa-1.0_old/debian/config/wpasupplicant/kfreebsd 2012-10-08 19:32:27.000000000 +0300 +++ wpa-1.0_new/debian/config/wpasupplicant/kfreebsd 2012-10-15 12:51:21.735613929 +0300 @@ -469,3 +469,6 @@ # XXX: Debian #650834 CONFIG_BGSCAN_SIMPLE=y + +# Enable access point mode +CONFIG_AP=Y diff -ru a/debian/config/wpasupplicant/linux b/debian/config/wpasupplicant/linux --- wpa-1.0_old/debian/config/wpasupplicant/linux 2012-10-08 19:32:27.000000000 +0300 +++ wpa-1.0_new/debian/config/wpasupplicant/linux 2012-10-15 12:50:44.977185881 +0300 @@ -468,3 +468,6 @@ # XXX: Debian #650834 CONFIG_BGSCAN_SIMPLE=y + +# Enable access point mode +CONFIG_AP=Y With the above configuration change, AP mode support is restored.
