Package: wlassistant
Version: 0.5.7-1+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I am trying to connect to a wifi encrypted with WPA (TKIP-PSK). wlassistant
does not create the wpa_supplicant configuration file, so
wpa_supplicant cannot proceed and the connection becomes impossible.
The output on the shell (some private data are hidden):
# wlassistant

Permissions checked.
DHCP Client: dhclient
All executables found.

ACTION: CONNECT.
No DHCP client running.
No pre-connection command specified.

The wlassistant package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/494859 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
