I have been working on this since janurary, spent hundreds of hours, its now done.

I beleive Im the first to get the Sentia 14.1" running wpa on the ipw drivers correctly.

I had gotten wpa b4 uusing ndiswrapper and windows drivers, allowing for wpa, but forget about war driving or network sniffing.

In order to do so u needed a working native linux driver. Problem was that the native linux driver was broken w/ wpa encryption.

Well I got FC4,ipw2100,wpa_supplicant, and kismet all working clean!!!

Now I have working wpa, and network sniffing!!! envy me
PS, I have been through every major linux distribution in this endeavor and FedoraCore(4) handles the sentia hardware and install 100x better than any of the others includeing: mandrake/mandriva, suse, slackware, old redhat, ubuntu, debian, or gentoo.

fear me booga!

Archalien,

My (red he-he!) hat is off to you! Right now, I am taking a linux programming course through college, and while it's fun, I now know what kind of time it must have taken to complete such a project. Congrats!

yus! Congrats! I too know what time and dedication such an endeavor takes. I was a gentoo girl until I realized how little time I had to tweak things, or learn to program in it so that I'd be as productive while using a windows system. (sad, I know)

You deserve a hug for contributing to Linux~ There's plenty who'd love to, but simply don't have the time, patience, or means to do so.

It's tempting to go that route since slack is only necessary for slacker.NET server.

This Live Linux Cd called Auditor does everything you mentioned above. If you have the Intel B/G wireless cards (IPW2200) card then download the auditor-200605-02-no-ipw2100.iso. If you have a different card or a (IPW 2100) then grab this one auditor-200605-02-ipw2100.iso. Here is the download link for Auditor, enjoy!! http://www.remote-exploit.org/index.php/Auditor_mirrors

Doubt that, not even the major distros have this working right, much less a fly by night flavor. Even with major distros that support minimal features oob, u still have to get proprietary drivers, and then still no wpa, and even then no good/simple gui that works.
