[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#849077: Bug#849077: wpasupplicant: [Regression] Updating wpasupplicant makes not possible to connect to encrypted WiFi

[Michael Owen]

I had the exact same error with all my ralink, broadcom and realtek
adapters.
Adding the lines to NetworkManager.conf

    [device]

   wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

fixed them all. I did not have the problem with the internal Atheros on my Inspiron.

Fixing this is excellent, I no longer have to use wicd to connect as I prefer NetworkManager.
