Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.7.3-6
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
I'm in the process of packaging wimax and wimax-tools in order to enable WiMAX
support in NetworkManager (and provide user-space libraries for manual use).
Unfortunately, the WiMAX sdk depends on a libeap package that should be built
from the wpasupplicant source. Fedora has included a patch, initially coming
from the linux-wimax people to achieve this; and mainly depends on building
wpasupplicant slightly differently and possibly providing an extra package
for a libeap library.
I've attached the patch for your convenience.
