OK, I just downloaded wpa_supplicant versions 0.5.10,  0.4.11, and 0.3.11.
Got an error about PACKET.DLL, so I downloaded WinPcap 3.1 (latest version
that supports 98) to solve that problem.  I also downloaded
http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/qt4/wpa_gui-qt433-windows-dll.zip.

When I try to run wpa_gui.exe for version 0.5.10, I get a "A required .DLL
file, QT3SUPPORT4.DLL, was not found" error.  That
wpa_gui-qt433-windows-dll.zip file only includes mingwm10.dll, QtCore4.dll,
and QtGui4.dll.  Where can I get QT3SUPPORT4.DLL?

Also, when I try to run wpa_supplicant.exe version 0.5.10, I get a "The
WPA_SUPPLICANT.EXE file is linked to missing export
ADVAPI32.DLL:ConvertStringSecurityDescriptorToSecurityDescriptorA." error
message.  Is it calling an API that is not available in 98?

When I try version 0.4.11, I still get the QT3SUPPORT4.DLL error when I try
to run wpa_gui.exe.  But that's the only file that I can't run.

With version 0.3.11, the only thing that won't run is win_if_list.exe - it
causes an invalid page fault in module WPCAP.DLL.  But that's not a big deal
because all I need it for is to figure out the interface name, right?  And
the win_if_list.exe works fine in the other versions.

Let me know where I can find QT3SUPPORT4.DLL (and maybe another version of
ADVAPI32.DLL?) so that I can do more testing.  Thanks.
