so it has the correct driver adm8211


/lib/modules/2.6.9-x1/kernel/drivers/net/wirelesss has a adm8211.ko


I tried this from the command line:


wpa_supplicant -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dadm8211


Unsupported driver 'adm8211'


this trys to use the prism driver not adm8211 any ideas?


wpa_supplicant -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
