Re: WPA_supplicant: operation not supported

Hi,

you are not expected to run the 'wpa_supplicant' binary manually, you 
should use YaST to configure the WPA-PSK key. The networking subsystem 
of SuSE will take care of launching the supplicant for you when you will 
bring up the wireless interface with the 'ifup' command.

The error message:

---
ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_PRISM2_PARAM]: Operation not supported
---

is a known issue with recent WPA supplicant versions that will be fixed 
in the future. You can safely ignore these error messages, they are not 
known to be harmful.
