Greetings! I recently purchased an intel 5350 on ebay (not an
engineering sample). After following the directions from the mailing
list several months ago (give or take), I got it to work. The one
problem, is that it only works on a 32 bit linux installation. As this
is listed in the known bugs, and the industry as a whole is moving
towards 64 bit, I am presuming that a fix is planned. Any idea when
this will happen. It's only the binary supplicant that seems to prevent
this from working in 64 bit, can't someone just compile a 64 bit version
so this stuff is usable? Anyway I'm here for testing if needed.
We keep grinding the wheels here to get out the open source supplicant
support. It is taking way longer than any of us expected, but it is
coming along. This should allow compilation to any arch (although we use
primary 32 bits systems here).
First of all, thanks for your quick response Inaky, it is appreciated.
While the prospect of an open source supplicant is obviously preferred,
is there any way to take the old binary supplicant and compile it for 64
bit? Or make the 64 bit wimax network service able to use the 32 bit
binary blob of a supplicant? I love the idea of an open source
supplicant, but at the moment I'd take free as in beer while waiting for
my free as in freedom.
Thanks,
Rick
