Bug#270145: ITP: wpasupplicant - Client support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i)

[kyle@mcmartin.ca (Kyle McMartin)]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package Name		: wpasupplicant
  Version		: 0.2.4
  Upstream Author	: Jouni Malinen <jkmalinen@cc.hut.fi>
  URL			: http://hostap.epitest.fi/
  License		: Dual GPLv2/BSD
  Description - Client support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) 
   WPA and WPA2 are methods for securing wireless networks, the former
   using IEEE 802.1X, and the latter using IEEE 802.11i. This software
   provides key negotiation with the WPA Authenticator, and controls
   association with IEEE 802.11i networks.

I've already packaged this. Because it needs the headers from madwifi to
support Atheros cards, I patched the madwifi headers in, which are also
dual GPL/BSD licensed. None of the binary firmware from madwifi was
included.

Will upload later today.

This package should probably get bumped to sarge after a bit of initial
QA, as it is required to connect to WPA/WPAv2 protected wireless
networks, which will be coming into proliferation soon after sarge
releases.

Cheers,
