[Bug 1370245] Re: wpa_supplicant version 2.2 available

 

I tracked down the issue where WiFi would fail after suspend in that it
doesn't associate anymore (tries to connect but fails), and it's a bug
in wpa-supplicant that was fixed in the current version (Ubuntu uses
2.1, newest is 2.3). Replacing Ubuntu's wpa-supplicant 2.1 with Debian's
wpa-supplicant 2.3 and rebooting immediately fixed the issue.

https://packages.debian.org/sid/wpasupplicant

There are a lot of issues related to this that would be fixed by the new
upstream release.

  Currently version 2.1 is still the version slated to be shipped with

  version 2.2 was released in 2014-06. Is it possible for 2.2 to be
