Okay, I don't feel like such a moron for not being able to figure out a
more "elegant" solution then. :-)
I'd been waiting for WPA to start using NWAM at home, so I'm quite
pleased to have it now.
At some point maybe I'll see if I can figure out how to add WPA support
to some of the older 802.11b drivers (pcwl and pcan); but first I'm more
interested in getting the ath and pcwl working on SPARC.
To that end: is anyone interested paying Sam Leffler (Errno Consulting)
for a port of the Atheros HAL to Solaris/SPARC? (The Linux sparc64 port
doesn't work due to different compilation flags.) I'm not sure which
group in Sun would handle this, but it is likely to cost a few thousand
dollars for a one-time-setup, and then Sam will sustain the Atheros HAL
on this platform going forward.
As far as pcwl support (and miniPCI 2.5 bug fixes), I need to spend some
time working with the code, and I just haven't had time. (Other SPARCLE
fixes are higher priority, and networking code changes are even higher
priority than those, right now. But I'm hopeful that I'll have more
time in July to work on these things.)
