No joy with 64-bit Windows 7?

[Kohli, Jim GE Healthcare]

You're right-Windows 7 uses NDIS 6.2.

 

Thanks Jouni.

I don't think this has that much to do with 64-bit, but more so with the

NDIS version the driver is using. wpa_supplicant does not support NDIS 6

and I would assume that your driver is using it. This shows up in the

debug log here:
