Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 2.3-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
after upgrading wpasupplicant from version 1.1-1 to version 2.3-1
wpasupplicant fails to establish a WLAN connection:
# wpa_supplicant -dd -ieth1 -c/tmp/wpa_supplicant.conf
wpa_supplicant v2.3
random: Trying to read entropy from /dev/random
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant

}
The system is a HP Compaq nx8220. WLAN device:
02:04.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)
Loaded kernel modules: ipw2200, libipw, cfg80211, lib80211
Almost all WLANs require WPA and a notebook without working WLAN
is rather useless, hence severity important.
I don't know what other information could be useful so please
tell me if you need anything else.
Regards
Uwe
