Agreed. The problem for my case simply is that wpa_supplicant supports less drivers than libiw.

I have an Airport card. The BCM43xx driver is, AFAICS, for the Airport Extreme card. The Airport card is working fine with the current kernel, except the driver has no support for WPA (but I'm ok with using WEP for now). -- Matijs van Zuijlen http://www.matijs.net/
