Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 1.0-3
Hi,
The wpa_supplicant package contains a really useful tool,
eapol_test. It is not currently packaged, and it would be great if
this could be. Use of this, for example, often comes up on the
FreeRADIUS mailing list for RADIUS administrators to test their
EAP configuration.
It's fairly easy to build from source, but our use case has it
installed on all our RADIUS servers for system monitoring. In this
case, having it packaged would make things much easier to deploy
and maintain.
It doesn't build by default, and is generally only of interest to
administrators, so probably is not worth putting in the
wpasupplicant package, although that would be an option.
I've created two small patches to the build system (for
squeeze/0.6.10-2.1 and unstable/1.0-3) that build eapol_test and
create a new 'eapoltest' package.
Please would you consider adding this?
Many thanks,
Matthew
