Hello

I've read about the weakness of WP2 and of krack attack. I suppose that Mageia is concerned by this issue.

What should I do ? Wait for the moment until having an update or do something else ?

Thank you

Thank you for your great work

In the mageia updates today the wpa_replicant was integrated.
