- 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.

Add a new variable WITH_STATIC_SUPPLICANT to cause wpa_supplicant to be
linked staticly. This allows it to be used from devd at startup. [1]
Use LIB_DEPENDS instead of BUILD_DEPENDS for the libdnet depend since we
need it to run too. [2]
My changes differ from the submitted fixes.

Fix wpa_cli. You need to pass all of the sockaddr, not just part of it.
Also be sure to keep the path null terminated as Stevens does.
While I'm here, take maintainership since I use this and seem to be
making most of the recent commits. |
