[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#859441: wpasupplicant: apply patches to favour througput estimate over snr/strength

[Jan De Luyck]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 2:2.4-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

There are patches available upstream that change the way wpasupplicant
picks the network to connect to, in case you have both 5ghz and 2.4ghz
networks with the same SSID. It'll check throughput, instead of just
plain SNR/signal strength.

The following patches on top of wpasupplicant should make this work:

Please consider including these.

Kind regards

Jan
