Bug 304339 – WPA_supplicant WPS mode can't be avoided if you want to

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description André Terpstra 2010-02-10 16:20:39 UTC]

This is probably an upstream bug.

When using wpa_supplicant with an access point where WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is enabled and you want to connect manually, this seems impossible. Wpa_supplicant keeps reporting that a WPS AP is available and simply refuses to connect, although a correct /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf is supplied.


Reproducible: Always

Could I get you to report this upstream, and take it up with them?

It's not that I don't want to do it, but most likely they are going to need more info from you, so it would be easier for you to communicate directly with them :-)

[Comment 2 André Terpstra 2010-03-12 07:27:05 UTC]

OK I understand. At least tell me how to contact them :)

[Comment 3 Bjarke Istrup Pedersen (RETIRED) 2010-03-12 07:40:09 UTC]

Sure, there is both a mailinglist and bugzilla.

The mailinglist is here: http://lists.shmoo.com/mailman/listinfo/hostap
And the bugzilla is here: http://w1.fi/bugz/

Also, if you create a bug report in their bugzilla, please paste the URL into the URL field here, so we can track it :-)

Any news on this? How does it work with latest version
