[Winpcap-users] Adapting WinPcap's functionality for connecting to Wi-Fi access points (APs).

[George S. Lockwood]

Yes GV, that helped me understand the "error" a bit.

My main issue now is eap-ttls with chap (or pap) and setting up the
"network" setting in a configuration file.

Do you have a specific example of CHAP (or PAP)??  Frankly, I'm not sure of
which settings are required.

furthermore, the ap I wish to connect to is hidden.  so I'm using
ap_scan=2.  is that correct?

thanks so much,

george
