Can not control wireless driver after leaving wpa_supplicant

[YenJung Chang]

Hi, List,

I am using wpa_supplicant 0.3.4 on linux kernel 2.4.25 and the
wireless driver from Madwifi.
I can control the wireless device using wpa_supplicant ok. But after I
killed wpa_supplicant process, I can no longer configure the wireless
device well via wireless tools (iwconfig, etc.), like connecting to
another AP.

Does the wireless device only work under wpa_supplicant control if
wpa_supplicant controlled it?

Regards,
YJ.
