Hey All!   
      
   This works great for both ath9k and zd1211rw based wireless adapters   
   with respect to the kernel's nl80211 driver and wpa2 connections to a   
   wireless ap.   
      
   I am using wpa_supplicant v0.7.3 with these drivers built in;   
      
   -------------------------------------------------   
   drivers:   
     wext = Linux wireless extensions (generic)   
     nl80211 = Linux nl80211/cfg80211   
     hostap = Host AP driver (Intersil Prism2/2.5/3)   
     wired = Wired Ethernet driver   
   -------------------------------------------------   
      
   Also the nl80211 is dependant on libnl and of this writing I am using   
   v2.0 and had to append the "CONFIG_LIBNL20=y" option to the .config file   
   (same situation with hostapd).  The wireless tools iw-0.9.22 work out of   
   the box with libnl-2.0 and now with wpa_supplicant working with nl80211   
   they are now the wireless tools of choice since there is the option of   
   mesh mode available which wireless_tools lack.  Also noted an   
   improvement in ping times when deploying iw to handle the initial   
   connection to the AP once wpa_supplicant was initialized to handle the   
   wpa2 encryption which is now required by the ap.  Works like a charm.   
      
   Also, also added the option of either static ip or a dhcp connection to   
   the ap in the start/stop script.  I am still testing things but it looks   
   like I now have a solid foundation for everything that might follow.   
      
   If anyone wants build scripts for all the wireless utilities please let   
   me know and I'll be happy to share.  After all they are bash scripts.   
   :-)   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
