Have you followed the gentoo documentation? [0] |

I use Airport Extreme as wireless network card, I run this command to |
23 |
connect to my wifi network: |
24 |
|
25 |
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf |
26 |
|

As you can see, the driver option in wpa_supplicant is wext. I think you |

can use the same option. |
