Here is what Lilian says about the WIFI supplicant support that is being
added to the firmware:
The supplicant handles authentication with an AP. The security modes
supported currently are:
1. no security
2. WEP
3. WPA-TKIP and WPA-AES
4. WPA2-TKIP and WPA-AES
The supplicant expects a data structure, wifi-cfg, to contain
information such as AP SSID, WEP key and its index (if the AP is in WEP
mode), and WPA/WPA2 pairwise master key (if the AP is in WPA/WPA2 mode).
The supplicant scans the air and tries to locate the specified SSID. If
it is found, the supplicant gets the rest of the association information
from the probe response, e.g., channel, security mode. And when the
supplicant verifies it is possible to continue with authentication with
the AP, it starts the association and key handshaking process.
