Updating to wpa_supplicant 2.10

[raspberryswirl]

Hi all!

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to the simplest way to update wpa_supplicant 2.9 to 2.10?

I've reviewed the following resources but it's a bit out of my league:
https://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/
https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/v ... icant.html

I'm ideally looking for an install script similar to this guide designed for 2.9

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

2.10 is in bullseye-backports, add bullseye-backports to your sources and install with apt

eg new file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list

containing the following

Code: Select all

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-backports main

then

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
sudo apt install wpasupplicant/bullseye-backports

Thanks - something like this was exactly what I was looking for!

I got an error however after adding backports that public key is not available and installation failed. I believe it's fixed by the following commands before running apt update:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 04EE7237B7D453EC
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 648ACFD622F3D138

Not sure if these keys are the best / safest to use so anyone feel free to chime in or confirm they are okay.

Thanks again for the help!

They are fine and safe to use, iirc you only need one of them but two does no harm.

64-bit RPiOS already has relevant keyrings, installing the debian-archive-keyring package may work
