Re: mac80211 does not support WPA when used with wext

ok I tested it again with linvilles f7 test kernel (wireless-git + your patches + iwlwifi). again nm detect the card as wpa and it finds the wpa enabled network. But it fails to connect (does not even ask for a key). So I tryed to use wpa_supplicant by hand ( with a config that works fine with ipw3945 ; ieee80211) . Its seems not to be related to iwlwifi but to a ioctl that mac80211 does not support (when used with wext).

notice the *ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported* what is SIOCSIWAUTH and how does it not being supproted affect wpa/wext support?
