My card (ipw2200 driver) doesn't have the WPA iwpriv capabilities, so I should use some supplicant. But I can't. I use whereami as a network auto configuration tool, and all works perfectly. whereami is a great job! But wpa_supplicant do some stuff that breaks my whereami config. And I'm unable to use both tools. Did somebody have some ideas for using whereami and WPA ? Thanks in advance.
