I am using madwifi in my MacBook.

With latest madwifi svn:

Using NetworkManager 0.7 I cannot connect any longer to my WLAN. With the
following patch I can use NetworkManager again:

It does not work with plain wpa_supplicant either.
The network in question is:
{{{

Mb/s, Strength 27 WPA WPA2

I am using the following versions:
{{{
# rpm -q wpa_supplicant NetworkManager
wpa_supplicant-0.5.8-91
NetworkManager-0.7.0-27
