[Bug 1163554] [NEW] Please backport wpa 1.0-3ubuntu1 (main) from raring

[Mark Russell]

Public bug reported:

Please backport wpa 1.0-3ubuntu1 (main) from raring to precise, quantal.

Reason for the backport:
========================
There's a large delta between wpasupplicant 0.7 and wpasupplicant 1.0 in terms of wireless standard support with modern stations and access points.  One specific example is 802.11 band steering which is very problematic on wpa 0.7 on Precise, but works well with wpa 1.0 rebuilt for precise.

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s raring -d precise wpa
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s raring -d quantal wpa

* precise:
[X] Package builds without modification
[ ] hostapd installs cleanly and runs
[X] wpagui installs cleanly and runs
[ ] wpasupplicant-udeb installs cleanly and runs
[X] wpasupplicant installs cleanly and runs
* quantal:
[X] Package builds without modification
[ ] hostapd installs cleanly and runs
[ ] wpagui installs cleanly and runs
[ ] wpasupplicant-udeb installs cleanly and runs
[ ] wpasupplicant installs cleanly and runs

Reverse dependencies:
=====================
The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of wpa. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the package still builds against the new wpa. For reverse-dependencies, please test that the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new wpa installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and Enhances don't need to be tested, and are listed for completeness-sake.
