[driverloader] ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

we are aware of this problem on SuSE 10 with WPA and our developers are 
currently working on this. A fix for this problem is likely to be 
included in the next release of DriverLoader which should be out soon.

The source of the problem is that SuSE is using the 'wext' WPA driver 
but it should use the 'hostap' WPA driver with DriverLoader.

In the meantime, you can fix this problem by either:

1) Use the 'dldr_wpa_supplicant' package available (recommended) at:

http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads.php#wpa

2) Manually make modifications to the 
'/etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-wireless' script (not recommended 
but can be done if you know what you are doing).

Regards,
