(This condition was triggered by doing an "nmap -sP 192.168.1.*" .. hence the arp i guess ..

  • version set to trunk.
  • description changed.
  • milestone set to version 0.9.0 - move to new codebase.

Please specify which patches you applied to resolve the compilation problems (you mentioned "these bugs", but that's a bit unclear).

11/07/05 19:58:04 changed by anonymous

Apologies -- the Patches are from bugs #77 and #108 (wext ap scan and compile fix for driver_madwifi.c), and patches/madwifi-atheros-wpa_supplicant-0.3.9.diff (which seems necessary to compile the supplicant)

11/25/05 12:13:34 changed by kelmo

Can you please test with wpa_supplicant ver 0.4.7? There is no need to patch in support for the new madwifi-ng code, and it workd quite well for me.

12/05/05 05:35:36 changed by kelmo

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to invalid.

Marked as invalid unless someone can reproduce similar instability with a current svn snapshot. It works for me with latest stable wpa_supplicant (0.4.7).
