First of all, I'm sorry I flagged wpa_supplicant 2.3 as out of date. Only later I discovered it has been reverted from 2.4 to 2.3.
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/wpa_supplicant&id=7562b98bd83fe5bce43e6952e0e922e7791e18b5

Now, I was tyring to bridge my wifi network with my virtual machines on my desktop computer. The setup is to first configure the wifi interface in 4addr mode [1], add the interface to the bridge, and then use the -b option to wpa_supplicant.

The 1:2.3-1 version didn't work at all in this configuration and upgrading to 2.4 worked fine.

I assume this is fixed now we ship wpa_supplicant 2.5?
