All,
I got the 2.6.23 kernel compiled/installed and it operates the RTL8187
USB wifi stick okay. However, it appears that it supports WEP, and not
WPA. I'm using WPA. Research indicates that I need wpa_supplicant.
Is this true, or has anyone here used an RTL8187 driver that supports
WPA "natively"? I'd just set my router to WEP, but she-who-bakes-me-
cookies-and-stuff insists on WPA.
