Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.6.2+git20080206.g8c0dad4-1
Severity: normal
The wpa_supplicant manpage lists the following available drivers:
atmel
broadcom
bsd
hermes
hostap
ipw
madwifi
ndis
ndiswrapper
wext
wired
'wpa_supplicant -h' only offers the following:
atmel
hostap
madwifi
test
wext
wired
I've found the following notes in README.modes:
The Intel Pro Wireless adapters (ipw2100, ipw2200 and ipw3945) all use the
'wext' backend, the 'ipw' backend is deprecated and no longer provided.
Ndiswrapper NO LONGER SUPPORTS the 'ndiswrapper' driver backend as of
version
1.16. Therefore, 'wext' must be used.
Best regards,
Georg
