Subject: [RFC] mac80211: use IW_AUTH_PRIVACY_INVOKED rather than IW_AUTH_KEY_MGMT
Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2007 16:19:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1193671155.5197.71.camel@johannes.berg> (raw)
In the long bug-hunt for why dynamic WEP networks didn't work it
turned out that mac80211 incorrectly uses IW_AUTH_KEY_MGMT while
it should use IW_AUTH_PRIVACY_INVOKED to determine whether to
associate to protected networks or not.
This patch changes the behaviour to be that way.

Dan or Dragoran, can you try this patch with a dynamic WEP network and
an unmodified wpa_supplicant (the one that previously didn't work)? It
might need the other patch I sent just before this one ("mac80211:
remove unused driver ops") to apply.
