If these patches are for the development version of wpa_supplicant, should they not be merged into upstream CVS, so that next time I take a snapshot, there is no need to carry along a large patch series?

Severity: normal

This is no defect, rather a  wishlist item, IMHO.

wpasupplicant is missing a number of patches which can be found at:
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/wpa_supplicant/

for me personally most important is that one (which makes wep w/ orinoco
                based cards work again):

wpa_supplicant-wep-key-fix.patch

Please provide a distinct bug report for that issue.

furthermore I applied:
wpa_supplicant-assoc-timeout.patch
wpa_supplicant-auth-fallback-v4.patch

Why?

I am not sure about the others:

wpa_supplicant-0.4.8-madwifi-ioctl-reorder.patch
wpa_supplicant-0.4.8-madwifi-privacy-invoked-fix.patch
wpa_supplicant-ctrl-iface-ap-scan.patch
wpa_supplicant-ctrl-iface-hide-keys.patch
wpa_supplicant-driver-wext-debug.patch
wpa_supplicant-ssid-len-fix.patch

What are they for? Why do I need to apply them? Have they been sent to Jouni?

Are you positive these bugs are for the 0.5 series of wpa_supplicant? If so, i would rather allow upstream to take care of them during their normal development process, unless they are _absolutely_ critical.
