The exact error is: wpa_supplicant[1919]: Failed to initialize driver interface I found this error message in wpa_supplicant.c at line 1772 as part of "static int wpa_supplicant_init_iface2(struct wpa_supplicant *wpa_s)" function. I am just guessing but it seems this card is unable to use WPA. I will wait for the delivery and try with that one. Thanks for all of your help. Robert
