wpa_supplicant 0.2.5 compilation fail

[Shawn Adams]

Jouni,

thanks for your response.

The only tip on the docs I can offer is in discussing the ".config" 
file, it would be logical that if:

CONFIG_DRIVER_HERMES=y

enables the option, that:

CONFIG_DRIVER_HERMES=n

disables the option.  I would state clearly that one must remove the 
option line.

now onto the next hop.


thanks again
