Details

Since version 2.1 hostap/wpa_supplicant introduced a strict checking of server certificates. This turned out to break quite a lot of networks using WPA Enterprise (EAP). See [1] for a discussion. The offending commit has since been reverted in upstream git [2]. Attached is the error which I got trying to authenticate with out secure network. Of course, reverting to v2.0 "fixes" the issue.

Please either build from the latest git master, or at least cherry-pick patch [2].

Thanks,
L.
