If Orinoco cards added WPA support in the same (or similar) way as Intersil Prism2/2.5/3, firmware support is certainly needed. In case of Intersil, it was needed for adding WPA/RSN IE into (Re)AssocReq and to receive Beacon/ProbeResp frames (to get WPA/RSN IE from AP). In addition, the firmware must allow host-based encryption/decryption to be enabled. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
