ndiswrapper + wpa_supplicant

[Sukku]

Hi George and Dan,

First of all thank you very much for your replay.

I tried with NetworkManager also.. with NM also I didn't get successes.

In var/log/messages I am getting this logs:

As per my understating the problem will be "what ever the IOCTL commands
generated by wpa_supplicant  are not understood by  ndiswrappered  drivers"

To resolve this problem where I need to change the code. Plz help me.

Thanks and regards,
Sukumar
