Re: .6.4 on fc5 and doesn't do anything

["John H." <mistamaila gmail com>]

i downloaded and installed source for wpa_supplicant .4.9 from website
i got wlan0 as the device now

however, even when it's up and working, if i look at "connection
information" it lists the wlan0 with ndiswrapper, but all the
addresses aside from hardware address is 0.0.0.0
