Description

wpa_supplicant is the implementation of an IEEE 802.1X supplicant for wired (Ethernet PAE) and wireless (WPA/WPA2) authentication. Flavour: openssl (built against OpenSSL instead of LibreSSL) - supports older TLS protocols which may be needed in order to connect to some insecure networks with obsolete authentication servers (see pkg-readme).
