Has anyone done any work > on supporting WPA-EAP for this card? Michael Stokes, who is primarily responsible for debugging my initial WPA efforts, reported getting WPA-EAP working with a Toshiba Wireless WLAN v01.01 shortly after we got WPA-PSK working. However I haven't had independent confirmation of this. The driver has evolved since then, so it's possible that we've broken something. Note that the card only supports TKIP, so it won't work if the AP doesn't offer it. At that time there seemed to be an issue with wpa_supplicant attempting to use CCMP when offered by the AP, despite it also offering TKIP - the workaround being to explicitly specify TKIP in wpa_supplicant.conf. Regards, Dave. PS. My contact with Michael has only been in private mail, so I've bcc'd him (rather than cc'ing in case he want to keep his email off public lists) in the hope that he can supply you with the necessary hints to get it working.
