Description Wade Mealing 2007-06-29 04:13:34 UTC
Description of problem:

There is no method of easily passing options to the wpa_supplicant init scripts.
 I believe (and the customer)  the init scripts along with
/etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant to allow the setting of options through this
configuration.

It would also be good to allow wpa_supplicant to start with the -w flag, if it
starts before the device is available (or brought up).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

wpa_supplicant 0.4.9-1.1.el4

Additional info:

Customers patch to be attached.
