It was my understanding that WPA could be used on any network card, and is a function of the driver rather than the underlying card. I could be mistaken on that, but I havne't been able to find anything definitive that the wi driver doesn't allow this, and the card (using a different prism2 driver than available from ibm) works under windows (just got it working to see if it was the card). I got it working with WPA-PSK TKIP and I still fail under freebsd, so I figure it's either a bug or I am missing some configuration parameter. So. works under windows, anyone have an idea of how I might try and isolate if this is a driver issue or a config issue? D --
