Bug Description

Binary package hint: wlassistant

Dapper, Edgy, and Feisty all currently use wlassistant 0.5.5, though an updated 0.5.6 was released on Dec 1, 2006.
http://wlassistant.sourceforge.net/
http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all&keywords=wlassistant&sourceid=mozilla-search

Debian does not have an 0.5.6 package, so it cannot be simply synced
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/kde/wlassistant

From the changelog ( http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=21832 ) it appears that several bugs in launchpad may be fixed in this release:

* NEW: Added option to automatically connect to best network at startup. -- may address bug 59261
* FIX: Wait a little bit before checking if connection was successful (a working connection was sometimes not detected) -- may fix bug 67020

It also includes updated translations and some UI tweaks. Though I can't confirm any of these bug fixes, I still think it would be appropriate to package wlassistant 0.5.6 for feisty, as soon as possible to start checking for regressions.

Thanks for taking this request into consideration.

It should be packaged absolutely before than feisty is released I think...

I've made deb packages if you need...
