|retitle |372208 Orinoco and wpa_supplicant not working with WEP
thanks
Hi,
I have a bad feeling about the included patch and would like to drop it
for a few reasons:
1. I currently experience problems with WEP and madwifi (using wext
ioctl's), and have had difficulty debugging
2. This patch has not been merged upstream, its been around long
enough for that (i suspect its not mergable)
3. We made little effort to discuss this patch with upstream or its
authour (Dan Williams), and that is mostly my fault
4. Diverging from upstream like this is _never_ a good thing in the
long term
5. I don't want to spoil my debugging attempts with other developers
of madwifi (or wpa_supplicant) while this subtle hack is included
The patch is still contained in the source package, but inactive via
debian/patches/00list.
Comments on how to best proceed welcome.
Thanks, Kel.
