[driverloader] wpa_supplicant howto?

[mmmgrrrl]

Hello... Maybe this is your problem : I've only been able to get the driverloader
and WPA on RHL 9 to work with the router 'Broadcast SSID' enabled.  
See my previous post 
 http://www.linuxant.com/pipermail/driverloader/2004q4/001666.html.
Linuxant support emailed me in Oct 2004 and confirmed that this limitation 
did still exist.  I originally discovered this problem and reported in this
 forum in Jan. 2004 
 http://www.linuxant.com/pipermail/driverloader/2004q1/000657.html .
Also resulted in said info being added to
 http://people.zoy.org/~hpreg/wifi/.
