Description:
hostapd is a user space daemon for access point and authentication servers. It implements IEEE 802.11 access point management, IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP Authenticators, RADIUS client, EAP server, and RADIUS authentication server. The current version supports Linux (Host AP, madwifi, mac80211-based drivers) and FreeBSD (net80211). Add the following to /etc/rc.conf to use the ports version instead of the base version: hostapd_program="/usr/local/sbin/hostapd"

net/hostapd-devel, security/wpa_supplicant-devel

Add two new development ports tracking the latest w1.fi development.
WPA developement is hosted at git://w1.fi/hostap.git however ports
plumbing provides API access to github. Therefore I cloned/forked
hostap, renaming "origin" to "upstream," with a brand-new "origin"
located on github. In theory this will allow me to git pull from
git://w1.fi/hostap.git and push to my github repo.

This will coincide with base tracking more recent developent at w1.fi,
supporting WPA3.
