Of course it is serious for you, but please note, that according to the information you gave us, it looks like a configuration error or lack of wpasupport in your wireless driver. Are you sure both your driver and your firmware do support wpa? >> During some researching of these cisco aironet devices, I found a nice >> table of WPA support here: >> http://www.ippp.dur.ac.uk/Computing/wirelessLinux.html >> >> Its features are also well described here: >> http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Linux.Wireless.drivers.802.11b.html#Arlan802 From these pages, it doesn't look to me like your driver offers the necessary extensions for WPA. The fact that wpa_supplicant segfaults instead of exiting gracefully is indeed an important bug, the fact that your driver doesn't support wpa isnt' a bug at all for wpa_supplicant, but a bug in your wireless driver. If you have further information about WPA support in the airo driver, please let us know. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4
