Re: Driverloader + WPA + NetworkManager status?

Hi,

we have not tested WPA support with NetworkManager recently but we are 
aware that there is some problem with WPA support in DriverLoader with 
very recent versions of the wpa_supplicant and possibly NetworkManager. 
Our developers will take a look at this problem in the near future and a 
patch is likely to be added to solve this issue. The patch will be 
installable with the 'dldrconfig --patch' command in a root shell once 
it is available.

Please send to [email protected] the output of 'dumpdiag'. Type the 
following in a root shell:

---
dldrconfig --dumpdiag
---

Just send us the generated file located in /tmp 
('driverloaderdiag.txt'). This information will help the developers to 
fix the issue.

Regards,
