thanks. I did find that site, but haven't been able to get it to run properly. Had to find some dlls for the gui app, but found them. so gui runs but I must need to config it somehow.<br><br>do you remember your steps when first trying this out. the /? help isn't quite cutting it for me.

<br>>><br>>> thanks again,<br>>><br>>> george<br><br>No, wpa_supplicant is not a driver. (WinPcap is, but I think you<br>already knew that.) It's a userspace program that you can either run<br>directly, or install as a service and run that way. This:
<br><br><a href="http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/">http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/</a><br><br>is the current URL. Near the end of that page, there's a set of steps<br>that happen when you associate with a wireless LAN; the PacketRequest
<br>API is used for the following steps:<br><br>- wpa_supplicant requests the kernel driver to scan neighboring BSSes<br>- wpa_supplicant requests the kernel driver to associate with the chosen BSS<br>- wpa_supplicant configures encryption keys for unicast and broadcast
<br><br>There's another option in NDIS for the initial association, too --<br>wpa_supplicant can program in an SSID and security settings, and let the<br>card associate with any matching AP (this is used when connecting to an
<br>AP that doesn't include an SSID IE in its beacons).<br><br>Also, I'm pretty sure that the WinPcap packet-send and -capture API is<br>used during the following steps:<br><br>- if WPA-EAP: integrated IEEE 802.1X Supplicant completes EAP
<br>authentication with the authentication server (proxied by the<br>Authenticator in the AP)<br>- If WPA-EAP: master key is received from the IEEE 802.1X Supplicant<br>- wpa_supplicant completes WPA 4-Way Handshake and Group Key Handshake
<br>with the Authenticator (AP)<br><br>This is not PacketRequest (I don't think), but it is WinPcap.<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Winpcap-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Winpcap-users@winpcap.org">
