From: Sedat Dilek To: wireless Cc: Johannes Berg Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Hi, a few hours ago I compiled a new kernel from upstream and put wireless-testing master-2009-09-30 on top of it. Last commit a1bec0ecfc76281d5e1ebd33435c67da7dd0fe71 wext: refactor linux-2.6/master: 84d88d5: Merge branch 'sched-fixes-for-linus' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip After installation of the above described kernel, I could not connect to my AP using wext driver and wpasupplicant (0.6.9-3) from Debian/sid [1]. With ath5k I could not establish a network connection neither via DHCP nor via static-IP to my AP (iwl3945 on a second machine works with self-debianized wpasupplicant 0.7.0+ and static-IP, same kernel). Just for clarification: Does wext refactor need a wpasupplicant >= 0.7.0 from hostap GIT repository [2]? Below you will find some needful informations of my configuration and system. Kind Regards, - Sedat - P.S.: I can offer a debianized wpasupplicant package for 32bit, if you like.
