My card (ipw2200 driver) doesn't have the WPA iwpriv capabilities, so
I should use some supplicant.
But I can't. I use whereami as a network auto configuration tool, and
all works perfectly. whereami is a great job!
But wpa_supplicant do some stuff that breaks my whereami config. And
I'm unable to use both tools.
Did somebody have some ideas for using whereami and WPA ?
Thanks in advance.
