So for us wrong-minded people with wi(4) hardware that lacks WPA support is it better to stick with 7.x for now? Any patches available or a rough ETA? Is there a specific set of 8-CURRENT commits before which WEP is known (or strongly suspected) to work? Anything others can do to help besides ask annoying questions? (Sadly I'm not quite enough of a kernel hacker to adopt maintainership of wi.) Thanks! JN
