[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#375302: Please reconsider your stance on the verbosity of wpasupplicant

[EspeonEefi]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.4-8+b1
Followup-For: Bug #375302

I'd like to chime in with another vote for changing the default 
verbosity of wpasupplicant in NetworkManager. I noticed today that under 
high bandwidth conditions, my network connection seems to like to drop 
out and then reconnect. I thought I'd take a look in /var/log/syslog to 
see what was going on, when I was confronted by lines and lines of 
wpasupplicant debug messages. Confronted with that, my curiosity died, 
and I decided not to pursue what could be an actual bug further.

I do not use WPA for any connections whatsoever.

One year ago, the reasoning you gave for having a the double debug mode 
on was that "NetworkManager is still a young project." A full year 
later, is this still true?

Also, yes, having this double debug mode turned on can make bug reports 
about WPA use more useful, but it also makes bug reports about non-WPA 
connections less useful (or in some cases, like mine, simply 
unreported). I'd think that the WPA usage of NetworkManager is no more 
than half of the overall usage of NetworkManager, so...
