Insight
This update of the drakx-net and initscripts packages improves wireless strength detection and fixes connection with rt61 devices (using the rt61pci driver). Such connections used to fail when the wpa_supplicant daemon was used.
This update makes the network tools force a reassociation when the rt61pci driver is used.
