Encryption problems with nl80211

Yes, wext drivers are not working.
They returns ioctl errors.

I think I'll have to modify the driver.

Just for information.
I understand that the driver nl80211 used by wpa_supplicant is the
driver from it's sources, which is in:

wpa_supplicant-(version)/src/drivers/driver_nl80211.c

Because looking for the string pattern "Failed to set STA flag" into the
kernel sources it returns no result.

Am I right ?
