[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#403301: wpasupplicant: segfaults with Cisco Aironet

[Matteo Croce]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.5.5-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

What's wrong here?

[~]$ sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ieth0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 7 value 0x1 - ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - Failed to initialize control interface '/var/run/wpa_supplicant'.
You may have another wpa_supplicant process already running or the file was
left by an unclean termination of wpa_supplicant in which case you will need
to manually remove this file before starting wpa_supplicant again.
