wpa_supplicant no longer works on my laptop, since
madwifi
support was removed a few days ago: http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/wpa_supplicant/trunk/PKGBUILD?r1=19826&r2=28313&view=patch http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/wpa_supplicant/trunk/config?r1=19103&r2=28313&view=patch Why that? |
This task depends upon
how did you all know?
Is there still anyone who's willing to help me understand, why this
intrusive change failed to get my attention?
Or in other words: How did you all know?
There was no announcement for this, I suppose it wasn't considered to be a significant enough change. It probably isnt. I'm fairly sure madwifi has supported wext for a while and as a result most people would have been using it already.
