I remember being a small part of and following this thread a few months ago. <http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2006-May/065091.html> I've been attempting a go at getting wpa_supplicant running on CentOS 4.3 and haven't had much luck. I'm assuming my failure is my lack of knowledge on the subject, but anyways. First, my normal setup is as follows: IBM Thinkpad R40 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5211 802.11ab NIC (rev 01) Works great and has been working great for over a year now off the madwifi drivers at <http://atrpms.net/dist/el4/madwifi/>. I've done a bit of Googling the past few days as well. One link I follow it mentions about CentOS/RHEL not supporting wpa_supplicant in the current kernel, and that you'd have to recompile your kernel. Other threads I've read of successes, but usually not much detail is provided and it's done so through compiling the drivers and what not. My question is: Has anyone had success off the RPMs on atrpms? I've attempted a shot at it with these: <http://atrpms.net/dist/el4/wpa_supplicant/> and haven't had much luck. It installs after I get a few dependencies and I can configure the .conf file, but after that it just gets really upset about doing anything. Perhaps I can't get it working due to confusion of the packages that I need or don't need. Currently, I'm running the kernel module packages from the madwifi section at atrpms. Any thoughts, help, or comments from the peanut gallery are greatly appreciated. :) Thanks! Max
