With the patch, wpa_supplicant is able to work properly for WEP and plaintext as tested with my bcm4306 (iBook), and the latest git.
However, and this may not be related, I still must issue an ip link set up eth1 after loading the bcm43xx module but before starting wpa_supplicant or it will not work. -- Hans Fugal ; http://hans.fugal.net There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself. -- Johann Sebastian Bach
