Created attachment 399208 [details, diff] the patch to be applied to the original ebuild This patch add a use to build the program eapol_test in the wpa_supplicant ebuild. The patch is simple since all was conainted in the sources. It adds the config, emake, and dobin. The man page was already included in the original ebuild, only the build was missing. I use the ~amd64 version (2.3-r2) to create the diff and tested it on this arch. eapol_test is used to test EAP authentication. I use it to test my freeradius setup. Since I suppose it's far less common to test EAP than to use wpa_supplicant to connect to wireless network, I think a USE flag is appropriate.
I tested the patch against the version 2.4 of the ebuild and it still works.
Created attachment 488620 [details, diff] patch against 2.6-r2 ebuild Please consider including this. eapol_test would be very helpful when trying to debug RADIUS config issues. In addition there is a Nagios plug-in that allows verification of RADIUS service using EAP.
eapol_test is very handy tool. Please, add support to the wpa_supplicant ebuild.
okay, adding to 2.6-r4
