This patch (prism54-en-wpa3.patch) brings WPA/WPA2(RSN) with
TKIP-Cipher to everyone with a FULLMAC Prism GT/Indigo/Duette card.
I removed all the parts(e.g.: Hostapd Support) which are not relevant for
wpa_supplicant (client/managed mode).
now, you can connect to your WLAN with:
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -c{WPA_CONF} -i{WPA_ETH} -dd
This code is just for review testers...
so only a pre-signed-off for now. ;)

I apologize for the late response.
I was going to include this patch in my pending branch, but I can't
get it to apply. The rejects are a bit big for me to hand-resolve.
Please review the patch posting procedures documented here:
http://linux.yyz.us/patch-format.html
Feel free to resubmit the patch, based of the current wireless-2.6 tree:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git
Thanks,
John

(e.g set/get the generic elements does a very good job. ;) ) And as far as the WEXT interface in hostapd is concerned, no, there is no such thing yet. that's correct. WEXT is not going anywhere anymore, but maybe cfg80211?

I believe it adds the support back in, just using standard WE ioctls like ENCODEEXT and AUTH rather than the custom HostAP ones... which brings up the question whether the hostapd driver for wext (is there such a thing?) works well enough.

Dan the AP code never worked. And the hostapd-ioctl interface was designed for prism2/2.5/3 cards, but not for fullmac prism54. Because the fullmac prism54 card does everything(mac-, key- and station-management) in the firmware and the hostapd_param struct does neither support the necessary mlme requests/responses (Authentication Association frames) nor a param to handle the EAP filter for the stations. (I wrote a patch HostAPD support, but with it's own firmwareap_param struct and some other hacky things, but it works well. I can post a diff too, but be warned! ;) ) (BTW, hostapd's backend for prism54 uses a proprietary interface - PIMFOR -, which never made it into the kernel.)
