I just purchased a 2200BG wireless card to replace my Atheros internal card.
It does get rid of the message but while running wpasupplicant I get a
"ioctl[IPW_IOCTL_WPA_SUPPLICANT]: Operation not supported"
message and it fails to associate with my ap.
The first line of iwconfig is
eth1 unassociated ESSID: "myssid"
It does see the Access point with the correct address.
What am I missing?

Recent versions of the ipw drivers use the standard 'wext' driver in
