Problem using WPA with wpi driver in snv_79

Hi,
According to the Wifi device list, WPA is supported for the wpi driver since build 77.
I have build 79 running on my system, and I want to use WPA.
First, I found that the wpa_supplicant is not installed by default. So, I downloaded
the wpa_supplicant v0.1 daemon package from opensolaris.org site.
Then, I found that the wificonfig command that's installed in build 79 doesn't support the WPA options, so, I downloaded the wificonfig-0.3 utility package from opensolaris.org site.
After I installed the above 2 packages, I tried to start the wpa_supplicant. However, I found
that the wpa_supplicant depends on libssl.so.0.9.7 and libcrypto.so.0.9.7. On build 79,
libssl.so is already at 0.9.8 and libcrypto is also at 0.9.8. To workaround the problem, I
created symbolic links. The wpa_supplicant also depends on libcrypto_extra.0.9.8. That library
doesn't exist at all in snv_79. So, I just created a sym link for it using libcrypto.so.0.9.7.
After all these, I am finally able to start the wpa_supplicant daemon.
I started it in the debugging mode:
-------------------------------
# wpa_supplicant -i wpi0 -F -dd
eapol_sm_init : malloc sm=808a7e8
EAPOL: SUPP_PAE entering state DISCONNECTED
EAPOL: KEY_RX entering state NO_KEY_RECEIVE
EAPOL: SUPP_BE entering state INITIALIZE
EAP: EAP entering state DISABLED
EAPOL: External notification - portEnabled=0
EAPOL: External notification - portValid=0
events_init:
Enter sysevent init entry
Before eloop_run
-------------------------------------
Then, I created a profile for my connection as follows:
# wificonfig createprofile home1 essid=Gamma psk=mykey proto=WPA key_mgmt=WPA-PSK pairwise=TKIP
When I try to connect, I got the following error:
# wificonfig connect home1
wificonfig: failed to set 'psk' for Operation not supported
wificonfig: failed to set 'proto' for Operation not supported
wificonfig: failed to connect to profile 'home1'
#
----------------------------
Any idea on how I should proceed? Are the wpa_supplicant and wificonfig packages
from opensolaris out-of-date? Would the most updated copy help in this situation?
Thanks,
--Karen

Hi Karen,
The wpa_supplicant on OpenSolaris is just a prototype working with
wificonfig v0.3 and ath driver v0.4; Since you are using wpi driver,
you needn't download these two packages.
From build 64, the wpa_supplicant has been integrated into Solaris,
works as wpa service.
The wpa service works only with dladm, so you need to use dladm, you can do:
# dladm create-secobj -c wpa mykey
.... input your PSK ...
# dladm connect-wifi -e Gamma -k mykey wpi0
I believe this will work for you.
