WLAN not working

Sun Jul 6 00:52:38 CEST 2008

After some test and error on my FR, i have come to the conclusion that 
encryption (any type of encryption) does not work on the FR (atleast not 
the image it comes with), this seems to be either a kernel 
bug/misconfiguration or a problem with wpa_supplicant itself, it seems 
to be using PRISM2 drivers? But the card is atheros is it not?
I am able to connect to open networks both the normal way (with 
iwconfig) and with wpa_supplicant, however connecting to encrypted 
networks has proven unsuccessful as wpa_supplicant complains about 
setting the encryption with this message repeatedly:
ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: Operation not supported
Not sure what's going on, maybe someone with a bit more info could 
reply.. :)
Regards
Kristoffer
