Description James Calligeros 2024-08-06 11:56:49 UTC

Hello all,

This is a preemptive bug to bring to maintainers' attention that wpa_supplicant 2.11 breaks certain brcmfmac wireless cards. This has been traced back to 41638606054a in wpa_supplicant.

See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2302577 for further reports of this.

When packaging net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-2.11, it is probably worth including a patch that reverts this commit for now.
