Can't get hostap & wpasupplicant working on Thinkpad A31p with Prism 2.5 Wifi

[Brian Hutchinson]

I did what you said:

wpa_state=INACTIVE

... was displayed.

Does someone have a .config of a recent kernel built for hostap support that
I can look at just to verify my kernel build?  Since hostap was made part of
the kernel, there really isn't any good howto's out there that I've found
that talk about configuring the newer kernels so I'd like to look at
someones that works with Prism 2.5 radios and compare it to mine.

Thanks,

Brian
