Hi all!
I own a Toshiba laptop P100-400 with a Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG wireless
adapter.
I've managed to get it working with normal WEP authentication, but no
success with wpa_supplicant (and I really need it for WPA auth).

Ugly, uh? :/

Sorry for the length.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
