Cool, great to hear.

you probably already know how the pkg-wpa team works. We have a team svn
where we maintain the wpasupplicant and hostap package. I'd suggest that
you checkout these branches, work on them and attach 'svn diff's to the
relevant bugs in debbugs, which I'll review and apply.

If you have further questions, feel free to ask either me directly or on
pkg-madwifi-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org, the mailing list where
we are coordinating and discussing things. You should subscribe there as
well.
