mac80211 and SIOCSIWAUTH

[Ветошкин Никита]

Hi, I'm a user of Lenovo R61 laptop with Intel 3945 wireless card. I 
have Gentoo and would like to use the iwlwifi + wpa_supplicant driver, 
but I can't because Wi-Fi installed in our office needs WPA2 
authentication and I can't connect to it. There no problems using ipw3945d.
#wpa_supplicant config
ap_scan=2
network={
         ssid="point1"
         key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
         scan_ssid=1
         identity="nvetoshkin"
         proto=WPA2
         eap=TLS
         ca_cert="/home/nekto/certificate.pem"
         private_key="/home/nekto/nvetoshkin.p12"
         private_key_passwd="nvetoshkin"
}
ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported - this error always appears 
in wpa_supplicant output. I digged a bit in source code and found out 
that it is mac80211 subsystem who returns ENOTSUP.
Is it really the cause of my problems or am I just confused?

There's a number of SIOCSIWAUTH sub-options, and not all are necessary,
and not all are supported by every driver.  That's normal.  Ignore the
wpa_supplicant message.

Can you try ap_scan=3D1? Last time I check wpa_supplicant source, it se=
ems
it doesn't pass the bssid and frequency in the "ap_scan=3D2" case when =
it
is trying to associate. (of course I could be wrong).

Thanks,
