Description: 
 wpasupplicant - Client support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i)
Closes: 366937 372615 373179 373948 375599
Changes: 
 wpasupplicant (0.5.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release.
   * WPA_CRTL_DIR environment variable is now exported to action scripts, we
     will use it to print a status report after a CONNECTED event.
   * Make logfile contents easier to read by adding a break between each ACTION
     event.
   * Recommend dhcp3-client, it handles consecutive wpa_action events with more
     grace than dhcp-client by not starting multiple dhclient processes on the
     same interface.
   * Don't remove wpa_action logfile on 'stop'.
   * Enhance wpa_action(8) to better explain the concept of a LOGICAL
     interface.
   * Install wpa_passphrase to /bin. (Closes: #373948)
   * Manpages have been slightly enhanced, and now briefly explain wpa_cli
     action environment variables and wpa_supplicant -C and -g options.
     (Closes: #372615)
   * Rename wpa_cli daemon pidfile to wpa_action.IFACE.pid for wpa-roam.
   * Further env variable testing cleanups to ifupdown.sh.
   * Global rename of WPA_COMMON_CTRL_IFACE to WPA_CTRL_DIR, as this is used
     for the same purposes upstream.
   * No longer penalise users for not having ctrl_interface explicitly
     contained within their wpa_supplicant.conf. (Closes: #375599)
   * Move WPA_ACTION_SCRIPT sanity checking into init_wpa_supplicant() to avoid
     ifupdown.sh exiting when bringing down an interface when ifup previously
     failed due to a missing or non-executable action script.
   * Add numerous code comments to ifupdown.sh.
   * Move WPA_CLI_OPTIONS and WPA_SUP_OPTIONS into their respective init()
     functions.
   * wpa_action now logs 'stop' events to file, updated manpage.
   * Split wpa_action logging into two parts, event and environment. Only
     wpa_cli events will echo env var's.
   * wpa_action exits with retval of ifdown command on 'stop' event.
   * Add workaround for sendsigs (initscripts) terminating wpa_supplicant
     processes before networking is shutdown gracefully. An init script
     wpa-ifupdown is called at sequence number 15 in runlevels 0 and 6 to bring
     down all interfaces that were started via ifupdown.sh.
 .
 wpasupplicant (0.5.3+20060522-3) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [Reinhard Tartler]
   * review and make the warnings in debian/NEWS even more obvious.
   * advertise the manpage wpa_action(8) and the implemented roaming solution 
     better. 
 .
   [Kel Modderman]
   * Bugfix: /etc/network/ifstate is not guarenteed to exist, we should grep
     /etc/network/run/ifstate in wpa_action. (Closes: #373179)
   * Include madwifi old development headers and provide a series of steps to
     enable support for users of the madwifi-old driver in debian/NEWS.
   * Restore init script example and information about its usage.
   * Use INTERFACES_FILE and IFSTATE_FILE in wpa_action.sh. Thanks for idea
     from Modestas Vainius.
 .
 wpasupplicant (0.5.3+20060522-2) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * Warn user and exit when wpa-roam is not started with manual inet METHOD.
   * Remove awk line to "guess" a network_id, instead create the new block and
     store output of wpa_cli in WPA_ID. (make sure that -i IFACE is used)
   * Rename wpa_cli_wrapper() to wpa_cli() and make it absoluetly generic,
     including only the IFACE and path to ctrl_iface socket.
   * Introduce wpa_cli_do() and rewrite conf_wpa_supplicant() to enhance
     readability and maintainability.
   * Make WPA_ID variable local to conf_wpa_supplicant()
   * Exit with status 1 when wpa-action fails.
   * Move test's into init/conf/kill function header and clean up phase
     specific case constructs at the tail of ifupdown.sh.
   * Ensure lang barrier does not interfere with wpa_cli, use LC_ALL=C.
   * Add patch from Dan Williams that works around a problem specific to wep
     keys and orinoco chipsets.
   * Update madwifing_includes dpatch to latest madwifi.org svn.
   * Add WPAGUI to debian/rules, so that only one change has to be made to use
     a different wpa_gui target. Remove $(WPAGUI)/Makefile in clean target.
   * Purge and forget about the old init example script.
 .
 wpasupplicant (0.5.3+20060522-1) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream development snapshot.
   * Oops: Disable CONFIG_EAP_SAKE. (Closes: #366937)
   * Rename debian/wpasupplicant.ifupdown to debian/ifupdown.sh. There is no
     need for that script to be named that way, as it may falsely seem to be
     handled by a debhelper target.
   * Don't attempt to send terminate signal via wpa_cli when start-stop-daemon
     can be used.
   * Use debhelper 5 compat level.
   * Use wpa_gui-qt4, and build-depend on libqt4-dev.
   * Use WPA_ID instead of NW_ID to make variable similar with what upstream
     uses for a similar purpose (unique identifier).
   * Add ifupdown environment var's to verbose output to assist in debugging.
   * Fix some typo's (engine_id, key_id) in ifupdown.sh.
   * ifupdown.sh no longer busy-loops when using an action script with
     wpa-action-timeout 0. Thanks to Elmar Hoffmann!
   * Allow wpa_cli action daemon to engage before configuring wpa_supplicant
     via wpa_cli set_network commands to avoid a possibly racy condition.
   * Move VERBOSITY variable to the beginning of ifupdown.sh, with the others.
   * Indent shell code in wpacli-action-* scripts.
   * Bumb Standards-Version to 3.7.2.
   * Allow for future PHASE specific stuff in start MODE of ifupdown.sh.
   * Move the action script sanity checks out of init_wpa_supplicant into
     common section of ifupdown.sh.
   * Create wpa_cli_wrapper to assist in major code clean up and future
     maintenance of ifupdown.sh.
   * Support madwifi-ng private ioctl's with the inclusion of the headers from
     madwifi.org svn trunk. (At the expense of not supporting the madwifi-old
     driver, which is deprecated by upstream madwifi)
   * Add wpa_action.sh to provide /sbin/wpa_action and facilitate roaming via
     ifupdown and network settings defined in /etc/network/interfaces (refer to
     wpa_action(8) for more details).
 .
 wpasupplicant (0.5.3-1) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream development release.
   * Orphaned daemons that are spawned during an ifup process that is
     manually terminated are now checked for and killed.
   * Don't make noise when we are not using the manual inet method and
     wpa-action is used.
   * Warn about non-executable action script.
   * Ensure wpa_cli actfile is destroyed.
   * Make start-stop-daemon verbose when VERBOSITY is set.
   * Renumber dpatches for sanity.
   * Make ifupdown script modular; split into shell functions.
   * Fix typo in README.Debian, referring to a non-existant location.
   * Disconnect and terminate existing ctrl_interface sockets.
 .
 wpasupplicant (0.5.2-3) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   [ Kel Modderman ]
   * Remove bad information about wpa-driver-file in docs.
   * Actually fall back to wext as DRIVER type in example init script.
   * Fix typo in debian/control, remove suggests of dhcp*-client alltogether.
   * Remove bogus commands to set eapol_version and fast_reauth. They cannot be
     set via wpa_cli.
   * Make preauthenticate a global wpa_cli setting, rather than a per-ssid one.
   * Kill dhclient process after a DISCONNECT signal in dhclient action script
     example.
   * Document that the action script must must be executable.
   * Fix check for wireless extensions for when there is not whitespace after
     $IFACE:.
   * grep for $IFACE in /proc/net/dev to verify it is a valid network interface.
   * Improve documentation about wpa-driver, and further clarify that all
     wpa_cli commands should be supported in e/n/i by prefixing them with
     "wpa-".
   * Add a note about wpa-action-timeout.
 .
   [ Reinhard Tartler ]
   * remove last reference to /etc/default/wpasupplicant. It is gone, don't
     revive zombies!
   * small cleanups in debian/rules
   * further clarifications in README.Debian
 .
 wpasupplicant (0.5.2-2) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   [ Kel Modderman ]
   * Bump debian revision to upgrade over the previously version uploaded to
     experimental, which has sufficiently changed since that time to warrant
     rebasing the package upon the 0.4.8-1 release to unstable.
   * Make ifupdown script exit silently when binaries are not found or
     executable.
   * When ifupdown exits with an error status, do not hide the echo'd problem
     description behind the VERBOSITY environment variable.
   * Remove check for wpa_cli pidfile when executing an action script. This
     check was racy, and not always successful. Sometimes, the device was
     marked as up without allowing the action script a chance to finish.
   * Improve feedback for wpa_cli action script daemon.
   * Ensure WPA_CLI_ACTFILE is removed when wpa_cli is terminated.
   * Fix typo in ifupdown script that later propogated into some example
     information in README.debian (wpa-apscan should have been wpa-ap-scan).
     Provide backwards compatibility for this change for those who already
     followed the example.
   * Check for existing pidfiles before executing daemons via ifupdown.
 .
   [ Reinhard Tartler ]
   * enable driver test
   * add eap_testing.txt to documentation
   * enhance Readme.txt
