Hi,
  I complied the kernel buitin broadcom drivers. So now,  I have a interface
named "wlan0_rename".
 But things are still not working for me.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
flukebox flukebox # iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

sit0      no wireless extensions.

ip6tnl0   no wireless extensions.

eth1      no wireless extensions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I guess  "param 4 value 0x0 - ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported "
this has something to do with wpa_suplicant.
can somebody help me out here ??
Also, is there any way to change my interface name wlan0_rename to wlan0 or
eth1 ??


TIA,
flukebox
