1. Unpack source code of WPA supplicant:
	tar -zxvf wpa_supplicant-0.3.8.tar.gz
	cd wpa_supplicant-0.3.8

2. Create .config file:
	cp defconfig .config

3. Edit .config file, uncomment the following line:
	#CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW=y.

4. Build WPA supplicant:
	make

5. Edit wpa_supplicant.conf to set up SSID and its passphrase.
For example, the following setting in "wpa1.conf" means SSID to join is "BufAG54_Ch6" 
and its passphrase is "87654321".

	network={
		ssid="BufAG54_Ch6"
		proto=WPA
		key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
		pairwise=CCMP TKIP
		group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
		psk="87654321"
		priority=2
	}

6. Execute WPA supplicant (Assume 8187 and related modules had been loaded):
	./wpa_supplicant -D ipw -c wpa1.conf -i wlan0 &
