Description Dima Pasechnik 2022-12-23 12:35:52 UTC

wpa_supplicant version 2.10 broke authentication for many users, as it now needs USE="tkip" which was not the case with 2.9 or earlier.

See e.g. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1147741.html


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to use wpa_supplicant v.2.10 with default USE flags to connect to a WiFi  needing TKIP. See it fails (cf. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1147741.html)
2. rebuild with USE="tkip". Test, it will resume working.
Actual Results:  
wpa_supplicant v.2.10 with default USE flags to connect to a WiFi  needing TKIP does not work. This is a regression w.r.t. 2.9.

Expected Results:  
it should keep working with default USE flags

add tkip to default USE flags of wpa_supplicant

I would like to point out that I only filed this as I was unable to find 
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865343 using Gentoo's bug search on the term "wpa_supplicant" (sic!)
