[driverloader] (no subject)

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

WPA support in DriverLoader is only enabled when the installed Windows 
driver does support it. To see if WPA is supported by the installed 
Windows driver, please run the following command in a root shell:

---
cat /proc/driver/driverloader/<iface>/capabilities
---

In the previous command, "<iface>" should be replaced with the name of 
the wireless interface, for example, eth1, wlan0, etc...

If you see either WPA or WPA2 in the output of the command, you should 
be able to use dldr_wpa_supplicant with DriverLoader for that wireless 
interface.

Regards,
