Almost doesn’t fit the “3rd party app” premise of the thread title…
The wpa_supplicant
, bundled with Haiku and fundamental for everyone using WLAN, got a small update. It grew a little Button that allows you to un/hide the entered password which letters are usually replaced by *-characters.
We will also allow WEP encryption, after a user recently mentioned that’s all their router allows. As long as the users are aware of WEP’s faults - the option is labeled “WEP - insecure encryption” - Haiku shouldn’t stand in their way.
That said, I don’t have a WEP capable router, so I wasn’t able to test if the build flag “CONFIG_WEP=y
” is really all that’s needed to make it work.
These small changes come with a few new strings needing translations. Please head over to wpa_supplicant at Polyglot to help out.
Thanks!
