These applications have been updated to the 0.5.8 "stable release" from Jouni Malinen. This gets us back on Jouni's stable release branch (as opposed to the abandoned code base we were using). There are many new features (read the docs in contrib) and you should now be able to use 802.1x over wired nic's though it may not be configured by default (please send patches after testing and I will try stuff updated).

ndis support in wpa_supplicant has been tested but requires fixups in the kernel that are pending. However people using ndis should also be aware that the in-kernel ndis support has badly rotted and appears chock-a-block with issues. Unless someone steps up to work on it expect instability. Thanks to Andrew Thompson for patching things up.


Hi Sam,

Great work, thank you.

Does this update include multi-bss support? There's mention of it in the
ChangeLog for hostapd but "only for Devicescape and test driver interfaces"?

multi-bss support in hostapd is present but nothing is in the kernel and it's unlikely any multi-bss code will go into 7.x because it would require api changes. More likely the vap code will appear in 8.x.

Sam
