Alright, not entirely sure if I did this right but I followed Debian's Building 
Tutorial to download and build wpa_supplicant with the changes you linked. One 
exception, I use wpa_supplicant through NetworkManager and could not work out 
where I needed to create a wpa_supplicant.conf, so I changed the one line in 
config.c to:

 { INT(no_oper_classes_ie), 1 },

which I'm hoping makes the default "on" instead of "off." Sadly doesn't appear 
to have made a difference, although it didn't make anything worse either.

Tiny mostly-uninteresting side note, I gave wpa_supplicant 2.7 a try on my 
desktop this morning and had the same problems with a Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 
Wireless Adapter.


Forwarding Different55’s message from the Debian bug here:

Sure thing! Sadly doesn't seem to make a difference. I've included
another log, this time starting from the time wpa_supplicant was
brought back up to a little bit after I got the popup that the
connection had failed.


That was the only idea I had, so not sure why it is not working.

You could bisect the hostapd project until you find the problem commit
and report it on the hostap mailing list.

Thanks,
Ben

You might try adding this patch and disabling the oper-class IE:

I'd be curious to know if it fixes the problem.

Thanks,

Hi! I'm running Debian Sid and recently upgraded wpasupplicant to 2.7. After 
the upgrade finished, NetworkManager popped up saying that the connection to my 
home Wifi failed. I was able to connect to my phone's hotspot still. I attached 
a relevant bit of a log from journalctl.

I also tried Debian's experimental package "2:2.7+git20190108+11ce7a1-1," that 
had the same issue. I didn't have this issue after downgrading to 2.6. According to lshw, 
my wireless adapter is an Intel Wireless 3165.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help!

Thanks,
Diff

Bug#850731: xorp: segfaults at initialization, linker flags

[Ben Greear]

Just FYI, I pushed this change plus an additional null check
in related code.  If fixes the crash I was seeing on my Fedora-24 systems,
and it would appear to be the same bug earlier reported.

Thanks,
Ben

Hi, I have contacted the upstream author, Ben Greear, about this
problem.  And he requested
if you have a back trace?


I would be interested in seeing a backtrace if the user has

it


so I could better understand the problem.  Maybe the code should

never


actually be trying to call these methods if _root is NULL?


Can you help the author?

Kind regards
