Hi,
### Associate with any open access point ### Scans/ESSID changes can be done with wpa_cli network={ ssid="PENTHOUSE" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK proto=WPA pairwise=TKIP psk="My very secret passphrase" group=TKIP }
The network stanzas should read wpa-key-mgmt NONE to associate with an open access point. ifplugd is of no use with the new setup. Intructions to restore the previously working setup (and restore the initscript) are located in /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/NEWS.Debian.gz Good luck!
