[maemo-developers] stlc45xx: open source WLAN driver for N800 and N810

[From: John Holmblad]

Kalle,

I took a look at  the OS2008 wireless supplicant and it looks like it 
supports WPA and WPA with EAP but I do not see WPA2. That suggests to me 
then that the supplicant referred to in this thread is NOT the standard one.

Best Regards,

 

John Holmblad
