New version of wpa supplicant says that there is no madwifi driver.
I had to downgrade to the testing version. |

What actually broken? What you describe is a message that madwifi specific driver support is no longer available, and generic wext backend is used instead (if you use ifupdown).
If you don't use the ifupdown bindings, but still use -Dmadwifi, too bad. This driver backend is gone for good. Use -Dwext instead. |
