However, there is a part that you are not going to like.. This is likely
using a private ioctl for some parts of the association requests, i.e.,
no -Dwext.. I would assume that this could be cleaned up, though, if
WEXT would be extended a bit to allow one more enc_capa to notify
whether the driver wants to take care of 4-way handshake and to allow
the PSK to be configured with a new key type.
Yes, as the current WEXT did not have this feature, I could not but
design the new PS3 driver in that way.
It would be interesting to see whether the driver/firmware/hypervisor
could be convinced to allow EAPOL frames to go through between
association and 4-way handshake (which would be completed by
driver/firmware). This is the way I can support WPA/WPA2-Enterprise with
OSX..
I had asked the hypervisor guy. Unfortunately all EAPOL frames would be
dropped by the wireless chip firmware.
