I'm a late arrival on this thread so please excuse me if I'm repeating what has already been discussed.

My question is about authentication. I just can't make it work. It just keens repeating the "Sending Authentication Request (Open System)" line over and again with no success. I also tried using the aireplay command line to do fake-authentication and got the same result.

I'm cracking my own network here so I know there is no MAC filtering going on.

Any suggestions where the problem may lie?

[UPDATE]
I found the problem... it was that I hadn't left the contents of ~/MyDocs/wl1251-maemo/binary/compat-wireless in place. It's true that if you follow the directions *to the letter* you won't have this problem, but if you try to clean up the debris after the installation you'll also wipe this essential part of it. I'd used my desktop computer to extract the relevant files from the bleeding edge drivers (much faster, many more tools around to work with).

Anyway, seems this is a a good reason to get a positive confirmation when the injection drivers are enabled. Happy to do this FruMMaGe as per littlebader's helpful post, or are you already onto it?
