wpa-supplicant installed, read across the docs quickly (closer look as soon as
I have access to the laptop in question again).
Wrote a wpa-supplicant.conf and fired up wpa-supplicant, tried -Dwext for
starters since I really wouldn't know what else. No luck here.

Ah, ok: all I want is plain wifi, no fancy stuff like aircrack. Reason I
talked to the aircrack people was they usually have their hands on beta
drivers a tad earlier. Like I said, can probe it, works, scans WEP APs.
Don't have the laptop around right now, anything in particular apart from the
supplicant docs I should look at?
