I don't doubt there are probably some problems pending. Its to be
expected. We also lack developers. If I could verify your problem I'd
tackle it. What I'd like ot concentrate on first though is WPA. If you
wish to help you can try to dive in and see if you can pin-point the
problem.

Don't think of it as ignored, think of it as we don't have enough
people to look into it.
