[ol7_u5_base] wpa_supplicant-1:2.6-9.el7.x86_64

wpa_supplicant is a WPA Supplicant for Linux, BSD and Windows with support
for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i / RSN). Supplicant is the IEEE 802.1X/WPA

with a WPA Authenticator and it controls the roaming and IEEE 802.11
authentication/association of the wlan driver.
