You could either change it to register the interface (this is not from -D option, but from the D-Bus message) with the nl80211 driver or try to build wpa_supplicant without WEXT support (which would make the nl80211 wrapper the default one). I don't think either of these are yet acceptable as a generic solution, but making NM request driver "nl80211,wext" could be a suitable first step when moving to wpa_supplicant 0.7.x (this makes wpa_supplicant first try with nl80211 and if needed, fall back to WEXT). > Can we fix this somehow? I really wanna get rid of using WEXT. There still one remaining WEXT operation even with driver_nl80211.c in wpa_supplicant, so we are not yet there, but there is work going on in getting that added to nl80211 after which point -Dnl80211 (or -Dnl80211,wext for more likely distro use) should allow this goal to be met. -- 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
