[Ruzsinszky Attila]

Hi,

I sent thist message yesterday evening and I can't see on the list.
So let's see again...

I think my messages remained private. :-(
I pushed the reply button and now I can see no more e-mail address
except yours.
Do I have to explicite address the list?

I talked about M$ drivers not about wpa_supplicant.

It is very interesting!
I'm confused now. :-(
The card is same:
- under Linux, with wpa_supplicant, I can connect my AP with WPA TKIP
TLS. So the card is support it. (I upgraded its firmware as I read on
the Net.)
- under M$ XP SP1 it doesn't work neither its driver or wpa_supplicant.

This is the situation. :-( No WPA!

I understand where is the problem then. Linux is working, XP not. Card
is the same. So the problematic part is the driver which was supplied
by card?

Back to your advice for SMC card...
It is working! ;-) Both under Linux and XP SP1! Nice.

Only problem, with my hidden SSID doesn't work.
I tried out ap_scan=0,1,2 parameters. Only ap_scan=1 is good for me,
and unhidden SSID! Is this correct?

And here is some other error notices:

Ps: Do you know PCMCIA card which is working perfectly under
SuSE >=9.0 and at least M$ XP?
