Confirmed. I've pinged upstream about this. Would be nicer if it had a sanity check before crashing and burning. $ sudo wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext -ifoo0 ioctl[SIOCSIWPMKSA]: No such device ioctl[SIOCSIWMODE]: No such device Could not configure driver to use managed mode ioctl[SIOCGIFFLAGS]: No such device Could not set interface 'foo0' UP ioctl[SIOCGIWRANGE]: No such device ioctl[SIOCGIFINDEX]: No such device Segmentation fault Thanks, Kel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
