<br>network. (I don't have one but was asked and looked into it --cause i<br>might). There are two problems --According to eeeuser<br>wpa_supplicant.conf is rewritten every restart by the GUI wireless<br>handler. This would need disabled or rewritten to suit our needs or in
<br>hacker fashion by passed by scripting a program to re-write the file<br>post boot to what we need.<br>The wifi chipset in use is the bang up to date AR5007EF lovely except<br>the usual delay in getting out drivers -- currently supported by latest
<br>madwifi driver but the latest AR5K(opensource) isn't yet advised. Posts<br>indicate Asus has modified its code for this driver but others report<br>working links after reflashing with UBUNTU and FEDORA so i suspect it is
<br>just a pre-release image that worked and the latest driver is OK.<br>Another 'Feature' wpa enterprise is present but as mentioned above the<br>wpa_sup.conf file needs re-writ every start. Another convenience ASUS
<br>provided was the lack of MSCHAPV2 second level authentication compiled<br>into wpa_supplicant. This is an old version (circa2005) and may not have<br>it as an option anyway, Cvs 5.5/5.6 had MSCHAP in their later guises but
<br>very flaky. it would probably advisable to compile a new wpa_supplicant<br>v 6.X.<br><br><br>Except ASUS has not provided a complete set of kernel headers much less<br>kernel sources. This would have to be attempted using standard ones and
<br>crossed fingers? Apparently there are a few different minor kernel<br>versions in use which may make things interesting.<br><br>Hope this of use to someone with small parts. Sorry its a bit dry but<br>hey ho<br><br>The regex presentation could inform the basis of a shell script to
<br>rewrite wpa_supplicant.conf after start up so this will make the next<br>meeting more interesting.<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>dundee GNU/Linux Users Group mailing list<br><a href="mailto:dundee@lists.lug.org.uk">
