This has also been applied in Ubuntu trusty along with CONFIG_P2P (Wi-Fi Direct support): http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/wpa/trusty/revision/9 The fact that CONFIG_AP_MODE is not enabled is confusing for users of NetworkManager as creating a "shared" WiFi connection will fail without a clear reason besides a "wpa_supplicant[]: wlan0: AP mode support not included in the build" line in syslog.

Hello, This creates an untimely problem though, this may not be a category of bug which qualifies for release team exception at this very late time in the release cycle. Now that wheezy is released, can this patch be applied? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

It looks like we mucked up here when updating from 0.7 -> 1.0 the build configuration was overhauled. I think that the fact that upstream defconfig omits CONFIG_AP tricked us into leaving it out. This creates an untimely problem though, this may not be a category of bug which qualifies for release team exception at this very late time in the release cycle. > > Here is a patch to re-enable AP mode: > > > diff -ru a/debian/config/wpasupplicant/kfreebsd > b/debian/config/wpasupplicant/kfreebsd > --- wpa-1.0_old/debian/config/wpasupplicant/kfreebsd 2012-10-08 > 19:32:27.0 +0300 > +++ wpa-1.0_new/debian/config/wpasupplicant/kfreebsd 2012-10-15 > 12:51:21.735613929 +0300 > @@ -469,3 +469,6 @@ > > # XXX: Debian #650834 > CONFIG_BGSCAN_SIMPLE=y > + > +# Enable access point mode > +CONFIG_AP=Y > diff -ru a/debian/config/wpasupplicant/linux > b/debian/config/wpasupplicant/linux > --- wpa-1.0_old/debian/config/wpasupplicant/linux 2012-10-08 > 19:32:27.0 +0300 > +++ wpa-1.0_new/debian/config/wpasupplicant/linux 2012-10-15 > 12:50:44.977185881 +0300 > @@ -468,3 +468,6 @@ > > # XXX: Debian #650834 > CONFIG_BGSCAN_SIMPLE=y > + > +# Enable access point mode > +CONFIG_AP=Y > > > With the above configuration change, AP mode support is restored.

Bug#690536: wpasupplicant does not enable AP mode at compile time
Package: wpasupplicant Version: 1.0-3 wpa_supplicant doesn't enable Access Point mode compile-time configuration option anymore. The debian/changelog file says AP mode was enabled in version 0.7.3-1, but doesn't mention the feature being intentionally disabled after that. Access point mode is needed by ConnMan to enable tethering over WiFi. It is also needed by any other network management software, e.g. NetworkManager, which intends to support tethering over WiFi. Thus it would be nice to have it enabled by default. Here is a patch to re-enable AP mode: diff -ru a/debian/config/wpasupplicant/kfreebsd b/debian/config/wpasupplicant/kfreebsd --- wpa-1.0_old/debian/config/wpasupplicant/kfreebsd2012-10-08 19:32:27.0 +0300 +++ wpa-1.0_new/debian/config/wpasupplicant/kfreebsd2012-10-15 12:51:21.735613929 +0300 @@ -469,3 +469,6 @@ # XXX: Debian #650834 CONFIG_BGSCAN_SIMPLE=y + +# Enable access point mode +CONFIG_AP=Y diff -ru a/debian/config/wpasupplicant/linux b/debian/config/wpasupplicant/linux --- wpa-1.0_old/debian/config/wpasupplicant/linux 2012-10-08 19:32:27.0 +0300 +++ wpa-1.0_new/debian/config/wpasupplicant/linux 2012-10-15 12:50:44.977185881 +0300 @@ -468,3 +468,6 @@ # XXX: Debian #650834 CONFIG_BGSCAN_SIMPLE=y + +# Enable access point mode +CONFIG_AP=Y With the above configuration change, AP mode support is restored.
