Hmm, so what is going to replace it? I was messing about with my old powerbook G4 titanium, trying to make wpa_supplicant work when I realized the airport/orinoco driver used for my powerbook can't handle WPA since that apparently requires at least WE-18. I started looking into what it would take to teach the orinoco driver about WE>=18. But I suppose there is no point in my looking further if WE is heading to the great bit-bucket in the sky. Is 'Wireless Extensions The Next Generation' described and documented somewhere? Or am I better off if I just give up and move on to some other more realistic project? :-) -Erik -- Erik B.
