[laptop-discuss] wpa support on B60+

I just grabbed the wpa-0.1 package and was very disappointed.  I run B60 
on my laptop with an atheros supported wifi chipset.  The package 
requires the ancient and hoary old OpenSSL 0.9.7 (easily fixed with 
symlinks, but still...) and I'd have to downgrade my wificonfig to make 
it understand that there's more to the wireless world than WEP.

Are there any plans to upgrade the functionality of wificonfig/dladm to 
support the wpa_supplicant, or better yet an integrated solution? WEP is 
thoroughly broken and the situation just got worse today.
