Is this a bug or my fault?

Hi Pavel,

This is what I did. I compiled the source code obtained from (
http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/) for v0.6.10 setting flags as
ARCH=arm and CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
Then copied the wpa_supplicant binary to the /system/bin folder of my HTC
Nexus One device. Here is the attached log of my command window.

I did not know what mistake did I make.
In my lab machine, the path to adb has spaces and '(' character. It should
not be a problem as I am running in the device.

Thank for taking your time. It would be great if we can solve this issue and
move forward.

Thanks,
Nithy
