I suggest adding a note to the wi(4) man page to make it clear that WPA is not supported. This will save people time when they they try to debug why WPA doesn't work, or, even better, stop them from attempting it with a card that uses this device driver. Fix: Add to CAVEATS: "The wi device driver supports WEP but does not support the WPA encryption standard."
It seems the man pages for wpa_supplicant(8) references the man page for wi(4), so if wi(4) indeed does not support WPA, then wpa_supplicant(8) needs to be edited as well. I can submit a patch for both, but I am unsure whether wi(4) supports WPA. -- Chess Griffin GPG Public Key: 0x0C7558C3 http://www.chessgriffin.com
wi(4) does not support WPA, but wpa_supplicant can be used with it to manage WEP and select between unencrypted networks. -- Brooks
