Hi,<br>&nbsp; I complied the kernel buitin broadcom drivers. So now,&nbsp; I have a interface named &quot;wlan0_rename&quot;.<br>&nbsp;But things are still not working for me. <br><br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>

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