Since kernel 2.6.15 (i think so), the Intel Pro Wireless 2200
must be accessed via the wext driver. The man page doesn't mention
this fact.

Hi Benjamin,

The very first entry in the /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/NEWS.Debian.gz explains the situation.

Because it was the linux kernel that made this change, and not wpa_supplicant, I am not sure it is really a good idea to ask wpa_supplicant to track changes in driver API. Rather, this is the job of distribution maintainers (we have already documented it in our internal NEWS file) or the upstream driver maintainers (in the case the ipw2100 project).

Thanks, Kel
