Please send error messages from the compiler and .config file you used
when reporting build probelsm.

Please note that CONFIG_*=n is not going to do the thing you might
expect it to do.. You need to comment or remove that line completely.
Anyway, integrated authenticator can be included even if you want to use
an external authentication server; it just adds some bytes to the
binary..

No, but it needs files from ../wpa_supplicant directory. In the released
versions, these are included in the tarball. In the CVS version, you
just need to have full CVS checked out.
