RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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.

Comment 6 Ken Benoit 2022-02-17 12:50:43 UTC
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.
