Package: wpasupplicant Version: 2.3-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi,
2.4/5 GHz selection in wpasupplicant is currently very poor, which impacts things like e.g. the DebConf network negatively: 14:21 < jcristau> 285 clients on 2.4GHz, 126 on 5GHz wpasupplicant upstream recently included a series of patches to improve selection significantly: https://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/commit/wpa_supplicant/scan.c?id=f0d0a5d23bd406a60358add9fa101b49dc9f9039 https://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/commit/wpa_supplicant/scan.c?id=a1b790eb9d7514d1a6e0582a07f695a1564caa59 https://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/commit/wpa_supplicant/scan.c?id=8b2b718da9884d66684befe99d1fbdd9abe5fb5e https://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/commit/wpa_supplicant/scan.c?id=aa517ae22784aff08d3d9e38ad101b4b5c9828fb I've run with all of these four patches now for a few months, and it works great for me. I also got reports from DC15 that it helped performance there.
