Hi All,  

 

A new build is available from http://os2ports.smedley.info/index.php?page=wpa-supplicant

 

From History section of readme.os2:  

2011-12-31: Use wpa_supplicant makefiles instead of makefile.os2 - eases maintenance  

 Use Openssl libs instead of internal TLS library  

 Enable more EAP options - see .config in archive to see what is/isn't enabled  

 

Please ensure you backup your working wpa_supplicant.exe first before replacing it with the one in the .zip  

 

Please report all successes and failures directly to me via email.  

 

In the event of failures, enable xwlan to show the wpa_supplicant window so that we can see what's failing and send the output to me - it may give some clues as to what's going wrong.  

 

I am particularly interested in regressions vs 0.5.7 that came with xwlan 3.10, and also improvements - ie connections able to be established where they previously weren't.  

 

In my testing - on one access point - 0.5.7 and 0.7.3 both work - on a second access point - 0.5.7 fails and 0.7.3 works.  

 

Cheers,  

 

Paul
