How is it a hack or a tweak to run a supplicant that handles all the WPA setup, configuration, and maintenance? You have one central program that can be used by multple drivers, allowing for faster / better development, and less reimplementation in each driver. Plus, I've yet to see any Windows wireless drivers that didn't need the Aegis protocol driver also installed in order to use WPA. :) At least you can configure how the wpa_supplicant works -- I've yet to find a way to tweak the Aegis protocol in Windows. :) -- Freddie Cash fcash@ocis.net
