Hello, TL/DR: I am requesting wpa_supplicant be updated to the latest version (2.10) and also have a patch applied that is available for FreeBSD.
I was wondering if it would be possible to have wpa_supplicant updated to the latest version (2.10). I tried to compile this myself from ports but it seems there is an issue with the OpenBSD driver. Correcting the issues with this driver are beyond my current capabilities, hence the request. Ultimately, I need to be able to run a current version of wpa_supplicant to be able to authenticate (802.1X) against my ISP for Internet access. As it stands now, my ISP only supports TLS 1.0 for the 802.1X authentication, so I am having to build wpa_supplicant using OpenSSL 1.1, since wpa_supplicant 2.9 hangs with OpenSSL 3.1 during the authentication proces. Also, the FreeBSD developers have created a patch for wpa_supplicant that allows for direct interaction with VLAN 0 (see the link below). This functionality fits perfectly for my use case of wpa_supplicant, but I would prefer to stay on OpenBSD if at all possible. Thank you for any guidance/assistance/consideration on this matter!
