Okay, glad to do that, and super glad for your interest and offer. The diff which was committed in line with your suggestion: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-wpa?op=comp&[EMAIL PROTECTED]&[EMAIL PROTECTED] The new package is at: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/i/iw/iw_0.9.6-1.dsc I should also point out, that there is another wireless related userspace component that we will require in the future for control of regulatory domain related stuff, CRDA [0]. It seems like more of a work-in-progress though, but it won't be too long until new upstream Linux versions, and iw, can make use of it. No doubt that software would present a few challenges though. Not sure if crda's packaging is something we should consider looking at or leave for (or co-operate with?) the debian-kernel people though. Thanks, Kel.
