Yes it does ... what driver should be used ?

currently we have a few special cases. maybe we need another special
case ... or just use default wext for some?

here what we have:

       if (!strcmp (kernel_driver, "ath_pci"))
               wpa_driver = "madwifi";
        else if (!strcmp (kernel_driver, "hostap_pci") || !strcmp
 (kernel_driver, "hostap_cs") || !strcmp (kernel_driver,
 "hostap_plx"))
               wpa_driver = "hostap";
        else wpa_driver = "wext";
