Dear Maintainer,
The wpasupplicant man page ("man wpa_supplicant") currently contains a
typo in the second paragraph of the OVERVIEW section. It currently reads
"introduce a much improvement mechanism" when it should read "introduce
a much improved mechanism."
This bug is currently filed in Ubuntu (LP #1405452).
In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to fix the issue.
* debian/patches/wpasupplicant_fix-improvement-typo-in-doc.patch:
change "much improvement" to "much improved" in wpa_supplicant doc
(LP: #1405452)
Thanks for considering the patch.
