From d692a2340c40f62c608fb54f0cc9736a30edcd07 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 01:07:21 +0000 Subject: mac80211: always use wpa_supplicant for client connections (patch by Stijn Tintel) Since client mode in mac80211is unreliable without using wpa_supplicant, it would be better to enable wpa_supplicant by default. With this patch, wpa_supplicant will always be used for mac80211-based drivers in client mode. This will break client mode for images that don't include wpa_supplicant or wpad, so maybe I need to add a check somewhere to see if wpa_supplicant is available, and show the user a warning if he tries client mode without wpa_supplicant. Suggestions on where to add this check are welcome. Tested with ath5k in client mode on open and wpa2-psk network, and tested on my ath9k based AP as well to make sure it doesn't break AP mode.
