[driverloader] wpa_supplicant howto?

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

did you tried to use DriverLoader without WPA support to see if it works?

Please also make sure that both the access point and the Windows XP 
driver support WPA. To see if the access point support it and is 
currently configured for it, please run the 'iwlist scanning' command in 
a root shell and if you a see a line starting with 'Extra:wpa_ie', then 
the access point is configured for WPA.

To see if the Windows XP driver supports WPA, please run the 'cat 
/proc/driver/driverloader/eth2/capabilities' command in a root shell and 
if you see the word 'WPA' in the output of the command, then it is 
supported.

Finally, you could try with the wpa_supplicant package we provide on the 
bottom of the DriverLoader download page at :
