Comment 28 for bug 384920

As I said before, I tried to build from source the latest WPA Supplicant code under Linux, but have failed miserably (I'm told Makefile is missing a config file, but I can see no configure script anywhere, does it make use of Auto Tools at all?). Keeping this in mind I have tried a couple more LiveCD images of other distributions (some based on Fedora 10 even) and with all of them with recent versions of kernel (for the drivers), NM and WPA supplicant, I get the very same behavior. Now what I don't fully understand is why does this happen with only a seemingly limited array of WLAN chipsets/cards?

What about trying to detrmine which adapters DO exhibit the problem and try to address those?

In my case I'm using a Realtek 8187B (USB) internal WLAN adapter.
