Description Horace Ip 2005-11-24 00:12:40 UTC 
The latest wpa_supplicant ebuilds have madwifi support removed. I would like to
ask if it's possible to add madwifi support back as pre-0.4.5 ebuilds ?

or there is a reason to completely remove madwifi support?

The issue is without 0.4.7,  2.6.14 kernel renders madwifi unusable.

Is there any chance of re-openning this, seeing as wpa_supplicant-0.5.0 has been released?
