[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#409076: New WPA configuration

Hello, Kel

I have tested it with my Notebook again.

My new configuration of the network interface is shown in the following
lines:
   iface eth2 inet dhcp
   wpa-ssid mynetworkessid
   wpa-psk mysecretpassword
   wireless-essid mynetworkessid

With the configuration above, a connection to my access point is
established.
Without the wireless-essid, no connection to the access point is
established.

I see, that the severity of this bug report stays at "Normal".
Because this is not a really issue, you can set this bug report to
"Minor" or "Wishlist item".

Questions from my side with this kind of configuration:
Is the content of /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf ignored?
Which driver is used as default, if the parameter wpa-driver is not set?

If you need more information, let me know.
Thank you for the support.

Regards
Bernhard
