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. -- Masakazu MOKUNO
