Description Davide Caratti 2022-01-18 20:04:36 UTC

wpa_supplicant-2.10 is out, and it should be included in RHEL as a replacement of the current release (an unofficial snapshot released to allow early testing of H2E functionality, see bz2007333).

Comment 1 Davide Caratti 2022-01-18 20:09:08 UTC

@kbenoit: one of the most significative differences with the snapshot release is [1], that should allow using legacy cryptographic function without explicitly loading the legacy provider in openssl.cnf

Comment 2 Ken Benoit 2022-01-19 12:04:12 UTC

Providing an ack, but keep in mind that this is coming in very close to the line so in the best of circumstances for testing this is going to get verified right before the cutoff where blockers or exceptions are required.

Comment 3 Ken Benoit 2022-02-12 23:08:20 UTC

Ran automated wireless regression testing against RHEL-8.6.0-20220210.3 and wpa_supplicant-2.10-1.el8 installed. Testing passed without issue. Marking as Verified:Tested and SanityOnly.

Ran automated wireless regression testing against RHEL-8.6.0-20220215.2 (wpa_supplicant-2.10-1.el8) against a variety of hardware. Testing passed without issue. Verifying as SanityOnly.
