- Description:
- wpa_supplicant is a client (supplicant) with support for WPA and WPA2
(IEEE 802.11i / RSN). It is suitable for both desktop/laptop computers and
embedded systems. Supplicant is the IEEE 802.1X/WPA component that is used
in the client stations. It implements key negotiation with a WPA
Authenticator and it controls the roaming and IEEE 802.11 authentication/
association of the wlan driver.
wpa_supplicant is designed to be a "daemon" program that runs in the
background and acts as the backend component controlling the wireless
connection. wpa_supplicant supports separate frontend programs and a
text-based frontend (wpa_cli) and a GUI (wpa_gui) are included with
wpa_supplicant.

security/wpa_supplicant-devel: Add WNM, MBO, and RSN_PREAUTH options
The following options have been added and are default.
- Enable WiFi 6 MBO (Multi Band Operation). MBO is a prereq to 802.11ax.
- WNM (Wireless Network Monitoring)
- RSN Preauthentication
This brings wpa-supplicant-devel in line with FreeBSD 14-CURRENT. |

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.
