Hi Jouni,

I am trying to get madwifi to work with WE-17 or 18.  This is what I get
when I run wpa_supplicant in debug more:

[root at linux root]# /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -iath0 -

This line: ioctl[IEEE80211_IOCTL_SETOPTIE]: Argument list too long -->
Very puzzling.

I posted this hear sometime ago, but still haven't been able to resolve
it.  I am using the latest madwifi drivers + wpa_supplicant cvs + WE-17
(from Andrew Morton's mm patches).  I have re-compiled all modules
again.

Please help!
