problems with zydas

[John H.]

ok, i am using the zd1211 driver, not the one from hawking, and it
works fine on open networks.

however, i want to use it on a wpa network, and i set it up to do so,
but the only wpa_supplicant i can find with zydas driver is the one
linked on zd1211 homepage

http://www.zydas.com.tw/web_driver/ZD1211_USB/Linux/lnx_wpa_supplicant_1_2_0_0.zip

however, after that one loads wpa_supplicant process, i can see it
from ps auxw,but it locks up tons of processes, locking up iwconfig,
ifconfig, etc, and i cannot kill them, nor can i kill it.

help?
