I'm using it with the in kernel 'orinoco-cs' driver. The driver does not support connecting to wpa2 enabled networks. If I understand it correctly, the mac80211 can emulate wpa2 in software? Would porting the orinoco driver to the new framework make it to possible to use wpa2 with it? Or is wpa2 hardware dependent? Thanks, Jan
