If you have WPA2/AES or TKIP working on 10.04, perhaps you can point me to 
a tutorial?  I haven't filed a recent bug report, since I figure it already 
has been.  The one time I fussed, about a year ago, it was canceled with a 
"won't fix".  Unforch, I didn't bookmark it.

The newest wpa_supplicant is 6.9-3, and I have been repeatedly told that 
full WPA2 support requires 7.3.

I haven't had the laptop connected since last fall but will probably set it 
up and update it in the next couple of weeks once I get done with the 
lathes cnc conversion.  Unforch, the computer I was going to run my lathe 
with, is out of stock.
