If I remember correctly, I think there were major changes to kernel |
13 |
wireless infrastructure introduced in 2.6.30. And in wpa_supplicant |
14 |
some changes had to be made for some people, like changing the driver |
15 |
(in my case from -Dmadwifi to -Dwext). Sorry I'm not familiar with |
16 |
your particular driver but I know there were major changes in general |
17 |
around that time. |

You may also need to emerge net-wireless/iw if you don't have it already. |

In the crypto/cipher section of the kernel I've found it easiest to |
22 |
just build all of them as modules and then they're available if |
23 |
needed. |
