No, I did not run that, hoping to avoid getting non-packaged stuff
installed. Sorry, for leaving that out.

Good to know. Thanks.

I am going to try that.

Three more questions regarding this patch.

1. Could you add `CC: stable@vger.kernel.org` to the patch so it gets
backported to the stable Linux kernel releases.

2. Does this fix a regression or did it never work with WEP/WPA(1)
networks before?

3. If wpa_supplicant only prints WPA to `/var/log/syslog`, can I be sure
this is *no* WPA2 network? Because I always thought this is a WPA2
network.


Thanks,

Paul
