Dear Manoj,

I've worked around the issue with using alternative WPA offerings that  
have appeared in the meanwhile (there are other bugs though that I've  
reported separately - network-manager, for instance), and I use  
wpa_client, ifplugd, and thereabouts, so retesting is a major undertaking  
for me and involves reconfiguring several parts of my system and finding  
an environment that still offers WEP.
I cannot set one up myself for lack of suitable access points, so we'll  
have to wait until I happen to come across one while travelling.

Since I believe neither in "just try it out" nor "magically self-fixing  
bugs":  why would anyone assume the bug had disappeared in the next  
releases? Is there evidence in the driver's or wpa_applicant's changelogs  
that the bugs might have been fixed, and what its nature was?

I don't mean to complain, but this is really a reason to deal with bugs  
promptly, rather than defer to upstream or whoever, and wait for somebody  
else to fix them.  We're now 20 months and three releases past the  
report...

Sorry.
