Description Daniel Sonnleithner 2010-07-19 21:10:56 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.99 Safari/533.4

In the general network config file (/etc/sysconfig/network/config) I was asked to fill a bug report when I have problems using the new default driver (nl80211) for wpa_supplicant. 

As proposed in the config file I set the option WIRELESS_WPA_DRIVER='wext' in the corresponding ifcfg file (/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0) and could connect successfully to the network using my D-Link DWA 150 usb device.
