While this is not the latest 2.x release it is the latest in /old.
Upgrading to 3.0 might be possible, not sure if the TNC-FHH patches could
be easily updated, though. Upgrading to 3.1 will definitely not be possible
directly as that version removes the EAP-TNC module. So we'd first have to
get rid of the TNC-FHH stuff.
There is a bug (fix at [1]) in hostapd 2.1-2.3 that let it crash when used
with the wired driver. The package in jessie (and sid) is affected, so we
build it from sources (same, older, version as wpa_supplicant).
