I am tesing this with x86 and ARM board (BeagleBoard). My problem is, this adapter works fine with my Ubuntu laptop(v2.6.29-rc2) using NetworkManager because of udev. I tried to run wpa_supplicant from command line as, wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf It gives error "Failed to read or parse configuration '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'" Because, my laptop doesn't have /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file, But still wireless network works fine. I don't have wpa_supplicant in ARM rootfs, hence want to know Does wpa_supplicant is necessary to make this USB wireless adapter work? Also, is /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf necessary in rootfs, since device works fine without this file on my laptop. Thanks for your help. Regards, Shivdas
