AFAIK WPA support requires 1.x firmware releases, which are not (yet) supported at all. But I'm not sure what does WPA support exactly mean (e.g. what everything changes). I originally wanted to add support for WPA-enabled firmware to at76c503 driver as a part of my bachelor's work (or at least make an attempt to do that), based on atmelwlandriver. However, if this can be done otherwise, I can rather focus on some other topic. Milan Plzik
