|  | Posted: Feb. 13 2007,03:02 |  |  I have a Cisco Aironet 350 I'm using with a Toshiba Portege 3025 laptop, HD install.
 The card is recognized and seems to be working, but I have WPA-PSK on my wireless network. I have been trying to use wpa_supplicant but have not had much luck. Here's my last try (I should be able to connect to the 'MYNET' network:

 I've tried various, probably useless ways of calling wpa_supplicant, and have googled furiously, to no avail.
 Here is my wpa_supplicant.conf (at least what I think is the relevant part):
 
 | Code Sample |  | network={
 ssid="MYNET"
 psk=verylonghexnumber
 }

 UPDATE:
 It seems that WPA is not in the driver. Folks suggest updating the firmware at Aironet Firmware Updates (you'll need a windows machine unfortunately). Now, there is also a driver here. It's "airo.c" but I don't know what to do with it. I would appreciate it if someone could help me with this file and what to do with it. It looks like I have to compile it and then install it somehow.
