Most drivers should be capable of doing WPA, albeit with some work. If wpa_supplicant and hostapd work out well (and I believe they will) I'd like to see them brought into the base system and properly integrated. There's really no reason to use static key'd WEP any more now that we can build WPA authenticators and commercial AP's are supporting WPA-PSK. Sam
