wpa_supplicant & ipw2200 prblem solved for me

Hi, 
 
I have faced a problem with wpa_supplicant and ipw2200 combination. WPA  supplicant logs the error message as follows. 
 
Driver did not support SIOCSIWENCODEEXT. 
Failed to install PTK to the driver. 
     This is how I proceeded to solve that. 
 
Initially I doubted that ieee80211_crypt_tkip.ko is not loaded at the  time of modprobe ipw2200. So, I did "modprobe ieee80211_crypt_tkip"  which gave the following error. 
 
FATAL: Error inseritng ieee80211_crypt_tkip  (/lib/modules/2/6/16/13-4-default/net/ieee80211_crypt_tkip.ko): Unknown  symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg). 
 
After this I saw dmesg. It gave following errors. 
 
ieee80211_crypt_tkip: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag. 
ieee80211_crypt_tkip: Unknown symbol ieee80211_debug_level. 
 
Then I doubted on "ieee80211_debug_level" variable. I went to  "ieee80211-1.2.18/net/ieee80211.h" (This is ieee80211 subsystem code)  file. There I commented ieee80211_debug_level variable. I recompiled the  ieee80211 subsystem and ipw2200 source code. Now it is working. 
 
I thank you for your support. Your mails helped me a lot in solving this  problem. I will send this mail to mailing list so that every body knows  about that problem and solution. 
 
thanks, 
Jagadish
