There are only 2 drivers. The -D option was left out of the original man page because it didn't exist. At the time wpa_supplicant was brought into the system all drivers capable of supporting WPA used a standard api (in FreeBSD all wireless drivers are unified under a common net80211 layer that exports an API that applications are written to). -Dndis was added because the ndis emulation code in the system exports a different api, requiring a different glue layer/driver in wpa_supplicant. I will fix the wpa_supplicant man page. Sam
