Testing with wpa 2.2-1 (as staged in wpa's svn as of r1889), that means 200+ wpa_supplicant lines on success, and 1200+ lines if I fail to enter the right passphrase. That might be a tad too much to be useful. Maybe having the possibility to set -d or -dd “manually” (in case of errors) would be better. I'm tempted to actually drop the -d flag for the next upload, and get back to my initial idea: another bug report to track adding a “moar debug” option. Anyway, I've stacked the patch I've just tested in the pu/wpa branch for now, and I'm tagging this bug report with patch + pending so that nobody wastes time on it. Mraw, KiBi.
