wpasupplicant 0.5.5-2 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

wpasupplicant (0.5.5-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Update madwifi headers to latest SVN. (Closes: #388316)
  * Remove failed attempt at action locking. [debian/functions.sh,
    debian/wpa_action.sh]
  * Add hysteresis checking functions, to avoid "event loops" while
    using wpa-roam. [debian/functions.sh, debian/wpa_action.sh]
  * Change of co-maintainer email address.
  * Add ishex() function to functions.sh to determine wpa-psk value type in
    plaintext or hex. This effectively eliminates the need for the bogus and
    somewhat confusing wpa-passphrase contruct specific to our scripts and
    allows wpa-psk to work with either a 8 to 63 character long plaintext
    string or 64 character long hex string.
  * Adjust README.modes to not refer to the redundant wpa-passphrase stuff.
  * Add big fat NOTE about acceptable wpa-psk's to top of example gallery.
  * Strip surrounding quotes from wpa-ssid if present, instead of just whining
    about them.
  * Update email address in copyright blurb of functions.sh, ifupdown.sh and
    wpa_action.sh.  

wpasupplicant (0.5.5-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * wpa_supplicant(8) now describes the -P (PID file) line option in the
    manpage. (Closes: #381721)
  * wpa_passphrase(8) is clearer about describing its purpose.
  * Start a paragraph in README.modes containing information about best
    security practises while using and configuring wpa_supplicant. For now
    it briefly covers the topic of file permissions. (Closes: #382241)
  * Implement PSK and ASCII passphrase key sanity checking, and warn user
    about suspicious key lengths (managed mode only).
  * Add leading example network conf, using wpa-passphrase, to README.modes.
  * README.Debian documentation changes as sugested by Eduard Bloch
    (Closes: #382314)
    - reordered sections by importance for a new user, this ensures wext info
      for ipw drivers is obvious (Closes: #384299)
    - rewrote the first chapter to give a fluent introduction, refered to
      wireless-tools doc
    - add missing .gz to README.notes path (Closes: #386603)
  * Reshuffle of README.modes, moving How It Works section toward the latter
    end to avoid stopping people from missing out on important info.
  * Rename 'Notes About Managed Mode' to 'Important Notes About Managed Mode'.
  * Clarify the status of madwifi and 'wext' in README.modes.
    (Closes: #382651)
  * Return exit status of daemon start commands.
  * Further cleanup of ifupdown.sh, move functions to head of script.
  * wpa-ifupdown no longer checks interface state.
  * Touch logfile before redirecting output to it via exec, to make sure it is
    writeable.
  * Split common code into /etc/wpa_supplicant/ifupdown_common.sh, so that
    ifupdown.sh and wpa_action.sh may share it.
  * Add 'wpa_action iface check' option, to test if interface is under
    influence of wpa_cli or not..
  * Start wpa_cli daemon from post-up to avoid a race condition with the
    roaming daemon where association occurred before the master interface
    state was recorded. This would cause the mapped logical interface to fail
    on ifup, as wpa_action would fail to detect the state of the master
    interface, thus not supply the --force option. This is where a stateless
    ifupdown would really help.
  * Make conf_wpa_supplicant no-act for roaming daemon. This is important, so
    that we do not attach wpa_cli to the ctrl_interface socket and initiate
    roaming before state is tracked.
  * Add hints about 'auto' and 'allow-hotplug' options with respect to the
    roaming interface in README.modes. (Closes: #384501)
  * Drop patchset for commenting out large wpa_supplicant.conf, use sed
    instead.
  * Active dbus interface via CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE_DBUS, add build-dep of
    libdbus-1-dev to debian/control.
  * Upstream now provides a connect-to-open-ssid example in the large
    wpa_supplicant.conf file, therefore there is no need to maintain such an
    example. Rename wpa_connect_open_ap.conf to wpa_supplicant.conf.template
    and adjust docs to use this as a starting point for the wpa-roam daemon.
  * Install wpa_passphrase to /usr/bin, there is no need for it in early boot.
  * Build qt4 wpa_gui from wpa_gui dir rather than pure qt4 variant
    (wpa_gui-qt4) as per Jouni's advice.
  * Add versioned dependency on lsb-base >= 3.0-6 for use of log_action_* in
    wpa-ifupdown.init. (Closes: #386164)
  * Use correct terminology when describing wpa-roam in wpa_action(8).
