45 Hi Marco,
46 I hope someone will help you better, I just can say I solved my own wifi
47 problems with wpa_supplicant (wpa encryption) by commenting out one line
48 of the recommended config and trying, then commenting out another one,
49 retrying, and so on, until I had it working...
50 good luck!
