Fedora Core 5: Wireless Connectivity Fix for wpa_supplicant Driver Issues

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 works around older and 3rd-party drivers that

report wireless network names incorrectly, causing

wpa_supplicant to prematurely terminate a wireless connection.

- Work around older & incorrect drivers that return null-terminated SSIDs
