wpasupplicant 0.5.4-5 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

wpasupplicant (0.5.4-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * STDIN was not given to external mapping script correctly. Use the power of
    eval to fix the issue. [wpa_action.sh]
  * Fix stupid debian/control error: duplicate Suggests fields.

wpasupplicant (0.5.4-4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add support to wpa_action.sh and ifupdown.sh for allowing external mapping
    logic to be used as opposed to the id_str logic. Thanks to Felix Homman
    for the great insight while implementing this feature.
  * Add a timeout loop of max 60s when waiting for an action to finish.
    [wpa_action.sh]
  * Minor cleanups wrt code comments and function placement in ifupdown.sh.
  * Suggest guessnet, now that it can directly "plug in" to wpa_action. Also
    demote iproute from Recommends to Suggests, it is not important by any
    means and was only added to honour a wishlist request.
  * Prepare for ctrl_interface socket changes in 0.5.5. It can be provided by
    'DIR=foo GID=bar' or 'ctrl_interface=foo' in wpa_supplicant.conf. Our sed
    check for this path in ifupdown.sh should now support both alternatives.
  * Move LOCKFILE and LOGFILE into WPA_ namespace. [wpa_action.sh]
  * Use semi-colon instead of comma for verbose output as that seems to be a
    standard among many different applications. 

wpasupplicant (0.5.4-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * UNRELEASED
  * Further optimisation of ifupdown.sh, use return values in
    init_wpa_supplicant() to dictate if further commands should follow, rather
    than exiting immediately.
  * Standardize echo'ing in ifupdown.sh. Add a wpa_msg() function to take care
    of "verbose|action|stdout|stderr" messages.
  * Add a 5 second timeout loop to init_wpa_supplicant() that waits for the
    ctrl_interface socket to be established before allowing wpa_cli to launch,
    and avoid a race condition. This means other functions no longer need to
    test for existance of the ctrl_interface socket. [ifupdown.sh]
  * Rename WPA_DRIVER to WPA_SUP_DRIVER to conform with name scheme of other
    similar variables. [ifupdown.sh]
  * Add (untested) wpa-bridge support to ifupdown.sh. This is an experimental
    upstream feature.
  * Major refactoring of wpa_action.sh, with all related commands put into
    independent shell functions.
  * Improve feedback from wpa_action.sh when used interactively. Give usage
    statement instead of simply returning "insufficient parameters".
  * 'wpa_action reload' is logged after the action. It is called interactively,
    and should also give interactive feedback. Same for 'wpa_action stop'.
  * Remove superfluous check for /var/log, and put logging initialisation into
    its own function, log_init(). [wpa_action.sh]
  * Shut `ip addr flush dev "$IFACE" up', it almost always has nothing to flush.
  * wpa-ifupdown init script now takes care of all interfaces while displaying
    only one line.
  * Don't set -e in wpa_action.sh. wpa-ifupdown script no longer takes exit
    status into account, and I'd prefer to account for all possible avenues of
    exit possible and log all encountered problems.
  * Really fix #375599, by containing the CTRL_IFACE_DIR path in WPA_SUP_CONF
    always, customised or not. The WPA_CTRL_IFACE socket was not being created
    when ommitted from the wpa_supplicant.conf file.
  * Add 'wpa-maint-debug' to enable set -x in ifupdown.sh, so that we can easy
    track down vague problems.
  * Slightly modify the way in which madwifi is activated. The default config
    we apply does not activate madwifi by default any longer, it is done via
    seperate patches; 20_include_madwifi modifies the .config file to activate
    the driver_madwifi backend, and adds the required CFLAGS to find the
    includes that are later added via one of the 21_madwifi*_includes patches.
  * Update madwifi includes to that of the current offering in the debian
    archive, r1680.
  * Implement basic locking for wpa_action action's for when the user callable
    "stop" action is executed while wpa_action is busy configuring the device.
    The wpa_cli daemon is killed, then wpa_action waits for the current action
    to finish gracefully before killing wpa_suppliant. This helps avoid
    inconsistencies with ifupdown when volatile conditions are experienced as
    part of the roaming setup (for example, driver problems causing connection
    loops).
  * Rename WPA_CLI_ACTFILE to WPA_CLI_LOCKFILE in ifupdown.sh.
  * Condemn the use of wpa-action scripts:
    - add NEWS item describing the superior alternative: wpa-roam
    - remove example action scripts
    - remove conf_wpa_cli() from ifupdown.sh
  * Condense README.Debian and NEWS, so that they contain only relevant items,
    and do not repeat the same information.
  * Massive enhancement of README.modes, in an attempt to relay the
    information about how this package, and wpa_supplicant work in debian with
    the greatest of clarity.
  * Harden tests for daemon pidfiles. No longer be satisfied that a pidfile
    exists, but use start-stop-daemon to test its validity by sending a signal
    0. Remove pidfiles that do not pass the test.
  * Fix stupid $DAEMON_VEROSITY typo that was used consistently throughout
    script. [ifupdown.sh]
  * Assoctiate "down" with the stop action of wpa_action.
  * Thanks Marc Haber for reading over docs and notifying of some of the
    follwoing issues.
    - Fix typo "automattically" in README.modes.
    - Remove bogus pre-up example from wpa_action(8) and README.modes
    - Explain in more detail how /etc/wpa_supplicant/ifupdown.sh works in
      README.modes.
  * Add "The Logfile" section to README.modes.
  * Add patch from upstream to fix writing of stakey, peerkey, and id_str
    network configuration variables into the configuration file when
    update_config=1 is set. Thanks to Felix for reporting.
