Hi,
Help !,
I want to setup a debug build of wpasupplicant so that i can Trace PEAP - MSCHAP v2 protocol for my study,

so i have installed Fedora release 10 (Cambridge),
the wpa supplicant works fine by default which come with CD,

I downloaded wpa_supplicant-0.6.4-2.fc10.src.rpm,
and extracted it to a folder,

[root@localhost wpa_supplicant]# make
[root@localhost wpa_supplicant]# make install
$mkdir -p /usr/local/sbin/
$for i in wpa_supplicant wpa_passphrase wpa_cli; do cp -f $i /usr/local/sbin/$i; done
[root@localhost wpa_supplicant]#


but if give command "ps -ef | grep "wpa"

i can see process running from /usr/sbin
but files copied during make install was to /usr/local/sbin/,
So i copied from /usr/local/sbin/wpa to /usr/sbin,

In network-manager applet the wireless is showing up.

Below is the output of few command's might help you answer my problem,

Why is it crashing,



Thank & Regards
