I just did wpa_supplicant -v in DSL (v 3.4.1) and got:  v0.3.8 © 2003-2005

On my Centos 5, I have v0.5.8 © 2003-2007

How can we get a more current version for DSL?

edit:

Just checked a Centos 4.5 system, and wpa_supplicant there is v 0.4.9  And I know that worked for me before i upgraded to Centos 5.

Could you compile a more recent version?

I think I have done one successful compile todate; and lots of failures.

I don't have the expertise.  Plus I have only worked with building rpms.

Sigh.

I have to plead with others to lend their skills. I do my best helping where I can.

Hmm - 'had a look at the readme for wpa_supplicant-0.5.8.tar.gz here - 'seems you have to make the .config file yourself.

Nothing like making the job easy...

What is in the DSL 4.0 beta?

Can it be back-ported to DSL 3.4?

I would be happy with 0.4.9; I know that worked under Centos 4.5
