WPA-PSK fails with Linksys WPC54Gv2 card and WRT54GS router

[Michael Reilly]

Thank you for your response.

Sorry it took so long to get back to this.  It turns out the WRT54GS doesn't 
understand eapol version 2.  I had set version 2 for a Cisco Access Point. 
Setting eapol_version=1 works for both The Linksys and the Cisco.

wpa_supplicant works perfectly with driverloader 2.03 on my WPC54Gv2 and the 
WRT54GS.

Again thank you,
