Morten,

   I just built and installe wpa_supplicant. Didn't specify a .config because
I don't know what to put in there and the document page suggests that
running make without the .config file includes everything.

   Having read the document page I still don't know just how to use
wpa_supplicant. It's installed, but when I invoke 'wicd-client -n' I still
get authentification failure because of a supposed password mis-match.

   What should I be doing with wpa_supplicant to help find the reason for
this problem?

Thanks,

Rich
