Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I think this is just about ready.
Several people have helped test this patch, and it appears to work well in
a variety of environments.
Testing included various crypto configurations (CCMP vs TKIP, mostly), and
various supplicant programs. wpa_supplicant alone, and
wpa_supplicant+NetworkManager both worked like a charm. I was not able to
get xsupplicant working, using either the private madwifi ioctls or the
wireless extensions API. There were several problems with xsupplicant,
some due to incorrect usage of the wireless extensions API, others due to
crashes in the xsupplicant program. I gave up on troubleshooting them - I
think the problems are in user land, not the driver.
Tested authentication systems were:
{{{
WPA-PSK
WPA2-PSK
WPA-TTLS
WPA2-TTLS
IEEE80211x TLS
open networks
static WEP
}}}
All of those worked well, except WEP. Static WEP keys failed due to what
I think is a bug in wpa_supplicant. They work fine when configured by
hand using iwconfig. I've opened defect 140 against wpa_supplicant.
We'll see whether Jouni agrees it is a wpa_supplicant bug.
