[Avila] wpa_supplicant

[Joel Lindsay]

Hong,

As far as I remember you will need the following.

entry in /modules/config.in to point to new module
You need a config.in the modules/"name" directory that looks somwthing like 
this:

#############################################################################

mainmenu_option next_comment
comment 'Atheros Module'

dep_bool '   Atheros 802.11(a/b/g) PCI/Cardbus support' CONFIG_ATHEROS
if [ "$CONFIG_ATHEROS" = "y" ]; then
   define_bool CONFIG_NET80211 y
   choice '    Atheros: Rate Control Algorithm'    \
        "Sample         CONFIG_ATHEROS_RATE_SAMPLE \
         Onoe           CONFIG_ATHEROS_RATE_ONOE   \
         AMRR           CONFIG_ATHEROS_RATE_AMRR" Sample
fi

endmenu

#############################################################################

I don't know if you need anything else.
