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). ---- Own MAC address: 00:18:de:05:f7:9e wpa_driver_wext_set_wpa wpa_driver_wext_set_key: alg=0 key_idx=0 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0 wpa_driver_wext_set_key: alg=0 key_idx=1 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0 wpa_driver_wext_set_key: alg=0 key_idx=2 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0 wpa_driver_wext_set_key: alg=0 key_idx=3 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0 wpa_driver_wext_set_countermeasures ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - wpa_driver_wext_set_drop_unencrypted ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported ---- notice the *ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported* what is SIOCSIWAUTH and how does it not being supproted affect wpa/wext support?
