4.113. wpa_supplicant
Updated wpa_supplicant packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The wpa_supplicant packages contain an 802.1X Supplicant with support for WEP, WPA, WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i / RSN), and various EAP authentication methods. It implements key negotiation with a WPA Authenticator for client stations and controls the roaming and IEEE 802.11 authentication/association of the WLAN driver.
Enhancement
- BZ#955153
- It is now possible to store passwords in a hashed form in the wpa_supplicant.conf file rather than only in plain text.
Users of wpa_supplicant are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add this enhancement.
