Weber, This is exactly what I faced when I recently tried to get the WiFi up and running on my Eclair based device..I had everything up and running on Donut and I copied the configuration and all and kept getting these 'permission denied' and 'operation not permitted' with the chown/mkdir related to ctrl_interface and so on..
After monkeying with the wpa_supplicant.conf file and the init.rc file with the various user/group permissions..just on a whim I decided to do a diff between the older wpa_supplicant code and the new one and there were a few differences..I just brought back all of the older wpa_supplicant code and BOOM WiFi was up and running in Eclair.. I think wpa_supplicant is somehow broken in Eclair and needs to be patched to work..I'll have to go through my diff step by step and figure out what exactly breaks things..and I might do that over the next few weeks..
