[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#379909: wpasupplicant: Cannot set encryption to ipw2100

[Rui Pedro Lopes]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.5.4-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

I've been having difficulties in using wpa supplicant with EAP-TTLS with ipw2100. I believe that the problem is with some ioctl call:

# wpa_supplicant -iwlan -Dipw -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf  -w -dd

...
