some notes on this: |

Although that's a good sign, it does not guarantee that the driver |
| 21 |
fully supports your device. However, the kernel log should now have |
| 22 |
changed significantly and the driver might now tell you there if it's |
| 23 |
fully operable. "ifconfig" showing the correct MAC is also a good sign. |

As a side note: My suggestion would be to play with the different |
| 26 |
"drivers" of wpa_supplicant. DHCP won't work if there's no correct WPA |
| 27 |
setup anyway. |
