Description charles17 2015-05-03 05:25:06 UTC

The following should be removed from Handbook:Parts/Networking/Wireless 

  # It's important to tell wpa_supplicant which driver it should
  # be using as it's not very good at guessing yet
  wpa_supplicant_eth0="-Dnl80211"


because old versions of wpa_supplicant defaulting to wext have been removed from the tree on 21 Mar 2015.

See http://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/plain/wpa_supplicant/ChangeLog
2014-02-04 - v2.1
	* changed the default driver interface from wext to nl80211 if both are
	  included in the build
