[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#815121: wpasupplicant: wpa_supplicant fails to authenticate on bridged interfaces, fixed upstream already

[Jesse Molina]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 2.3-2.3
Severity: important

Please update wpa_supplicant and tools from upstream. It has some important bug fixes.

The current version (2.3) won't EAPOL authenticate properly when the interface is being bridged. The means bridges wifi/802.11 and bridged ethernet interfaces will never properly authenticate.
