Package: wpasupplicant
Followup-For: Bug #296291
The patch to fix bug #294909 (madwifi doesn't associate with open aps)
breaks assocation with WEP enabled accesspoints. The patch turns off
WPA/WEP completely when assocating with either WEP or open accesspoints
and never re-enables it.
Here is a patch that works better. Basically the madwifi kernel driver
doesn't automatically enable/disable encryption when keys are set or
removed using the madwifi ioctls. This is controlled separately by the
PRIVACY flag which was only set by wpa_supplicant when madwifi was
initialized. The following patch moves the setting/clearing of the
PRIVACY flag to the function that is called during assocation to
allow/disallow reception of unencrypted packets, which seems to match
closely the cases where crypto is enabled and disabled.
