Looks like WPA2 have been cracked


So to update to 2.3 is almost same amount of work as to update to 2.6, so I've done the later. 2.6 wants newer gnutls, so updated to the last version to use the old ABI (luckily that's sufficient), which also wanted slightly newer gcrypt. That's all as far as dependencies go, and about things depending on wpa_supplicant I could only think of NetworkManager, and that still seems to work fine - wifi still connects and works.

So before I push out an update, please somebody test the wifi after doing "opkg install" on these packages, in the order given:
http://notaz.gp2x.de/tmp/ipk/libgcrypt11_1.4.6-r1.5_armv7a.ipk
http://notaz.gp2x.de/tmp/ipk/libgnutls26_2.12.24-r8.4.5_armv7a.ipk
http://notaz.gp2x.de/tmp/ipk/wpa-supplicant_2.6-r0.5_armv7a.ipk
Probably best to reboot after installing just to be sure old wpa_supplicant isn't running instead of the new one.

Installed them on my GHZ Pandora and did a reboot.
My Wifi connect fine with WPA and i have a stable connection.
No visible Errors are visible in Dmesg.
Played a bit 240p Videos with "thetube"..updated some PNDs with PND Manager and surfed a bit with Palemoon.

All seem to work stable and flawless from my Side..thanks for the Update ;)
 
Probably doesn't affect anything now, but I also tested this on my GHz Pandora. I use a USB wifi stick, because I seem to have broken the internal wifi at some point in the past (or it doesn't like my new router, like one of my USB sticks doesn't), and this worked fine, tested connecting automatically via networkmanager, upgrading installed pnds using pndmanager, disconnected using networkmanager. All worked perfectly smoothly, even including downloading and upgrading one of ptitseb's monster projects.
