[Soc-coordination] GSoC Project Idea: WPA2 support for the debian installer

[Max Linke]

Hi

the description looks nice. I have written a draft for my
application[1]. Does the project schedule look realistic to you?
Looking in the BUG-Tracker I have found #636211, which looks like a nice
thing to get started working with the code. As for the other parts I
think I it would be better if I concentrate on netcfg and work through
the whishlist-bugs.
