Hello Valerie,

There is so much conflicting information regarding this matter, I am glad to 
speak to a primary developer. My confusion is that I keep hearing that I would 
need to upgrade these packages, but I do not have them installed at all. I have 
read some information saying it was included with the build and others saying I 
need to download and install them. Can you tell me which is correct? If I do 
not have them installed can you send the the exact link to the packages. 

Additionally, would you know if the lack of these packages would result in WPA 
WAPs showing up as WEP in the dladm scan-wifi output?

Emery


Hi Emery -

Yes, you do need to upgrade the SUNWcry/SUNWcryr packages everytime you upgrade
your system. These are available in the closed-bin tar bundle, associated
with each build.  I'm not sure, specifically, how this affects WPA driver, but
I do know that changes in the core crypto components often require all the
modules to be updated as well for other tasks.

This is documented here:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/crypto/Documentation/sunwcry/

This will soon be changing, as I am wrapping up a project to pull strong
crypto into the base OS.

hope that helps,

Valerie
