Support for random 'wpa-action' scripts has been totally removed for the

* They were unmaintainable. They were not installed or updated along with
7
each new package, rather, they were user managed.
8
* The program code required to support them was relatively crude.

* This functionality is obsoleted by a more comprehensive 'roaming' action
10
script that controls ifupdown.

Please refer to /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes and

wpa_action(8) for details about wpa-roam, and how to obtain the
14
behaviour that wpa-action scripts "tried" to achieve.

IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY USING -d madwifi THIS UPLOAD BROKE YOUR CONNECTION!
21
PLEASE UPGRADE YOUR WLAN DRIVERS TO CURRENT MADWIFI!
23
Support for the madwifi driver has changed in this release. The so called
24
'madwifi-old' driver is no longer supported, instead we included the headers
25
from madwifi-ng (madwifi.org svn trunk) to allow support for the new private
26
ioctl's in that codebase. Also note that madwifi-ng supports the 'wext'
27
ioctl's when compiled and used with a linux kernel >= 2.6.14.
29
More information about the new madwifi driver can be found on the
34
Also visit the pkg-madwifi maintainers page, hosted on madwifi.org's wiki
35
for information specific to installing and using madwifi-ng on debian:
37
http://pkg-madwifi.alioth.debian.org/
39
The madwifi-old headers have been included in the source package for those
40
people who requires its support. To activate madwifi-old support, please
45
# apt-get build-dep wpasupplicant
47
$ apt-get source wpasupplicant
48
$ cd wpasupplicant-0.5.3+20060522-3/debian/patches

Edit '00list' by removing the line:

and uncommenting the line with:

IF YOU HAVE USED WPASUPPLICANT BEFORE, THIS UPGRADE PROBABLY BROKE YOUR

This package does not ship any configuration to wpasupplicant in
73
/etc/{wpa_supplicant/,}wpa{,_}supplicant.conf anymore. There is no
74
sensible default configuration which would make sense to be started on
75
every machine. Therefore, in order to actually use wpasupplicant in
76
this package, you are required to edit your /etc/network/interfaces in
77
order to start wpasupplicant. Please read the file README.modes in
78
/usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant for more information about the supported
79
stanzas in /etc/network/interfaces.
81
Roaming between networks is now supported by a wpa_cli action script.
82
Please read /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes for a guide on how
83
to configure wpasupplicant to best suit your requirements.

102
This version is designed for Wireless Extensions 19 and so will work
103
with Linux kernel 2.6.14. It works with earlier versions of linux as well.
105
WPA support was added in Wireless Extensions 18 and should
106
therefore exist in new (2.6.14-compliant) drivers, including
107
ipw2200 v1.0.8. In order to take advantage of this new support you need to
108
invoke wpasupplicant with the wext driver ("-D wext" in
109
/etc/default/wpasupplicant for instance, instead of "-D ipw" say).

The -w (wait for network interface to exist) command line option no longer
4
exists. If you have scripts that require this option, it is time to change
5
them, or use one of the two supported modes of operation explained at
6
/usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes.gz.

ifupdown supports hot-plugged network devices via the "allow-hotplug" class
9
of operation. An example /etc/network/interfaces configuration stanza would
15
wpa-psk mysecretpassphrase
17
network-manager is also able to handle hot-plugged network devices.
