Thanks for referring to the security bug in dfly's base wpa_supplicant. Yes, the base wpa_supplicant hasn't been updated for years, and its startup script will print a warning suggesting that users should install the latest wpa_supplicant from dports/packages. Nevertheless, one developer may take time to upgrade the wpa_supplicant in base. Cheers, -- Aaron
