Subject: Android: Set CONFIG_NO_RANDOM_POOL=y
X-Git-Tag: hostap_2_7~723
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b65353a767522a5d7215a6f55ec36b96a94aee28;p=thirdparty%2Fhostap.git

Android: Set CONFIG_NO_RANDOM_POOL=y

Wpa_supplicant's random pool is not necessary on Android. Randomness
is already provided by the entropymixer service which ensures
sufficient entropy is maintained across reboots. Commit b410eb1913
'Initialize /dev/urandom earlier in boot' seeds /dev/urandom with
that entropy before either wpa_supplicant or hostapd are run.
