As I don't practically nothing about WPA, I personally have no advise to give. Basically what we need is something that is as small as possible, but functional for all (or at least all common) use cases and hardware. However, if it would be good you can give an overview of the options and also of the dependencies that would be pulled in (libraries?, extra kernel modules?). > > I'm not sure whether we should maybe check whether wpasupplicant is > > available or not and only offer the option to use WPA if it is. > > Whatever the d-i team deems suitable I will try and write around. Whether this is strictly necessary depends very much on the size of the wpa-supplicant and other needed udebs. But in general we try to be flexible in D-I and leave support for things optional if possible, so IMO it would be good to have the check anyway. Cheers, FJP
