Cool, copying the BTS + list for the record.
Normally I would close a bug fixed so easily, but it seems that
"wpa-driver wext" might actually be totally crap and cause more problems for
other people.
It should possibly be removed from wpa_supplicant build configuration and
nl80211 used instead. I'm not sure of the best way to migrate people's
/etc/network/interfaces configuration which includes "wpa-driver wext".
Idea's welcome.
Thanks, Kel.
