Fedora Core 5: 2006-256 Moderate: wpa_supplicant Driver Support Fix

wpa_supplicant is a WPA Supplicant for Linux, BSD and Windows with support

for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i / RSN). Supplicant is the IEEE 802.1X/WPA

component that is used in the client stations. It implements key negotiation

with a WPA Authenticator and it controls the roaming and IEEE 802.11

authentication/association of the wlan driver.

This update to wpa_supplicant provides:

- Fixes for Orinoco-based wireless cards

- Addition of the Prism54 (fullmac) WPA driver

- Removal of the deprecated 'ipw' WPA driver, Intel

Pro/Wireless users should use the 'wext' driver instead

- Add patch to make orinoco happy with WEP keys

- Enable Prism54-specific driver

- Disable ipw-specific driver; ipw2x00 should be using WEXT instead
