[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#431102: wpasupplicant: New version doesn't allow empty essid?

[obi]

Hello Kel,

so the log is attached: it keeps telling me that it doesn't know how to
associate the AP. I'm not sure sure what do you mean for higher level
tool, but ifconfig and route tells me that I'm not online.

Btw, running dhcpclient manually (that is not doing ifup which brings
wpa_supplicant go) brings my interface up and all is well.

And downgrading to the stable version (0.5.5-2) fixes it: this version
works.

thanks
graziano
