Description Ben Cotton 2021-12-01 16:09:18 UTC

This is a tracking bug for Change: Remove Wire Extensions Support
For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RemoveWirelessExtensions

The legacy wireless extensions interface was replaced by the new mac80211/cfg80211 interface in 2007. The legacy Wireless Extensions support has been long deprecated and only supports long EOL WiFi encryption like WEP so it's time to disable it and remove it.

If you encounter a bug related to this Change, please do not comment here. Instead create a new bug and set it to block this bug.

Kernel change PR done

It would be great if you could next time open bugs in advance against the affected components which could prevent maintainers from surprises like e.g. bug 2031312, thanks.

I thought I had, but it seems it was upstream: https://github.com/t6x/reaver-wps-fork-t6x/issues/324

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 36 development cycle.
Changing version to 36.

Comment 5 Ben Cotton 2022-05-10 14:41:45 UTC

F36 was released today. If this Change did not land in the release, please notify bcotton as soon as possible.
