[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#365014: wpasupplicant: Patch for supporting madwifi-old and madwifi-ng in parallel

[Gregor Jasny]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.5.2-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

As long as madwifi-ng does not support wext, it would be nice if 
wpa_supplicant would support madwifi-old and madwifi-ng.

I've attached two patches:
15_madwifing_1531_includes.dpatch

This are the includes of madwifi-ng (svn version 1531). All files are licenced 
under GPLv2 so including them should not be a problem.

16_madwifi_parallel.dpatch

This patch allowes parallel support for madwifi-old and madwifi-ng. This is 
archieved by compiling driver-madwifi.c twice. One time with the old includes 
and one time with the ng ones. If the ng headers are used, all functions and 
variables are renamed from *_madwifi_* to *_madwifing_*.

The resulting wpasupplicant runs fine with madwifi-ng on my notebook.

If you decide to not apply this patches, I would be happy if you could ship 
them deactivated in the source package.

Regards,
Gregor
