Hmm, I think I used the word 'now' when I should have used 'next' :) > I've put a draft up at > http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~andy/BLFS/wpa_supplicant.html > It's at the point where I can't see what's wrong with it and it won't > get any better until it's in the book and people start emailing the > lists with problems/issues. Wow, that was quick! It looks pretty darn good too, so just a couple of minor observations for now, until I play with it properly in a couple of hours: 1) http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/ mentions that it can use either OpenSSL or GnuTLS. I'll be testing against GnuTLS as I'm trying to avoid having 2 SSL/TLS libs in this build, if at all possible. 2) The command explanations show that the WEXT driver is used, but the .config file also includes the RALINK driver. Does this require a separate/additional explanation? i.e. will it use 1 or the other or both drivers, and under what circumstances? 3) s/Alternately/Alternatively/ Thanks!
