Is there any chance that WPA support will get added to orinoco.c?
(I was looking into adding Linux (ubuntu breezy) as a dual boot to an Apple Ti
Powerbook with
an original 802.11b airport card, and the only real issue I found while testing
with a live CD was the lack of orinoco WPA support).
Hopefully the wpa support from ipw2100.c atmel.c or hostap/hostap_ioctl.c could
be ported to
give WE-18 capabilities to orinoco?
An alternative I saw suggested (on a mailing list, by someone at Red Hat) was
to adapt the airport.c shim to use the hostap driver in managed mode, (someone
claimed that it could work with hermes as well as prism2) but hostap seems
prism-specific.
Adding WPA to orinoco seems the way to go.
I know its difficult to find time to do more than fight bitrot on mature
drivers, and 802.11b
is getting obsolete, but WPA support would be a really worthwhile addition.
Maybe Jouni Malinen (the wpa_supplicant maintainer) might be able to help?
(I'm not in a position to spend the time playing with this now).
