System: NetBSD amethyst.netherstone.net 4.0_RC1 NetBSD 4.0_RC1 (AMETHYST-$Revision: 1.25 $) #2: Tue Sep 25 10:00:37 EST 2007 unpriv@amethyst.netherstone.net:/scratch/netbsd-4/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile/AMETHYST i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
The ath(4) manual page says that encryption is not supported at
this time:

     "AR5211 and AR5212 support the AES, TKIP, and Michael crypto-
      graphic operations required for WPA but at this time the driver
      does not support them.  To enable encryption, use ifconfig(8)."

wpa_supplicant appears to work just fine, but isn't mentioned.

(I was very pleasantly surprised how easy it was to set up WPA-PSK
with an Atheros based card "TP-Link TL-WN651G Ver. 1.5". It all Just
Worked.)

>How-To-Repeat:
$ man ath
>Fix:
Change the referenced text to refer to wpa_supplicant(8) and
wpa_supplicant.conf(5)?

 Modified Files:
 	src/share/man/man4: ath.4

 Log Message:
 Remove very outdated note about no WPA support.
 From Giles Lean in PR bin/37024, who confirmed wpa_supplicant works fine.

 I didn't add a mention of wpa_supplicant. I don't think people expect WPA
 support to come in any other form.
