Package: wpasupplicant Version: 0.7 Severity: important Hermes (at least as in Apple airport) does not support ap scan and "manual" association. As a result at the default settings as used by most apps (ap_scan=1) the connection is never established.
ap_scan=0 and 2 do not work either. It never loads any of the network sections parameters (WEP keys, ssid, etc) into the driver so the driver does not perform automatic association. The driver/card itself is OK - it works fine with classic config using wireless tools. However all fancy gui utilities - (k/g)networkmanager, wicd, etc use wpasupplicant as default. I have tested this with the default lenny (6.4), backports (6.10) and a manual backport of latest from hostap (7-something). It is broken in all cases. This is using the wext driver as the original hermes one does not seem to be available from anywhere. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-bpo.5-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages wpasupplicant depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.7-18lenny4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.1-5+lenny1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libpcsclite1 1.4.102-1+lenny3 Middleware to access a smart card ii libreadline5 5.2-3.1 GNU readline and history libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-15+lenny8 SSL shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip wpasupplicant recommends no packages.
