I enabled all of those USE flags on wpa_supplicant without any good reason when I switched from NetworkManager to wpa_gui several weeks ago. Mainly I was interested in exploring the capabilities of the project; it seems I've encountered some incomplete, old, and/or broken features. Justin

Not unless: -You want to set up your PC as a wireless access point - USE="ap". -You want to use a mobile phone SIM to undertake authentication to an AAA server to allow usage of a wireless access point - USE="eap-sim". -You want to set up p2p ad-hoc wireless connections between WiFi clients without an access point (e.g. to transfer files, tether your phone to use it as modem to browse the Internet and vice versa) - USE="p2p". -You have a WiMAX NIC and service account to be able to use this kind of network (IEEE 802.16) - USE="wimax". -For some reason you want to use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to obtain access to your wireless AP, instead of entering the WPA2 passphrase directly in your wpa_supplicant.conf file (or networkmanager, connman, wicd, or what have you) - USE="wps". PS. WPS has a reported vulnerability making susceptible to brute-force attacks and you would probably have it already switched off on your router. PPS. I have had no problem emerging net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-2.4 with these USE flags: (dbus eap-sim hs2-0 qt4 readline ssl wps -ap -fasteap -gnutls -p2p -ps3 - selinux -smartcard -tdls -uncommon-eap-type) -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
