[driverloader] WPA problems - SuSE 9.2 X86_64

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

you are probably using the WPA support provided with SuSE since we can 
see the error message in the 'ifup' command. Please disable WPA support 
with YaST and then manually configure the WPA configuration file found 
in the WPA package.

Then, please name your wpa_supplicant daemon binary 
'/usr/sbin/dldr_wpa_supplicant' and please name your wpa_supplicant 
configuration file '/etc/driverloader/dldr_wpa_supplicant.<iface>.conf'. 
For example, if you wireless interface is named 'wlan0', the file name 
becomes '/etc/driverloader/dldr_wpa_supplicant.wlan0.conf'.

When these files will be in place, the wpa_supplicant daemon will 
automatically be started when you will use the 'ifup' command in a root 
shell. This command is used after a reboot to bring up your wireless 
interface so it should also automatically work after a reboot.

Regards,
