Problem Compiling ipw2200

I keep getting this error when trying to set wpa_supplicant. I finally managed to install the ipw2200 driver.

Code:

nicholas@AUDIE:~$ wpa_supplicant -Dipw -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ioctl[SIOCSIWPMKSA]: Operation not permitted
ioctl[SIOCSIWMODE]: Operation not permitted

I'm running Ubuntu 6.0.6

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Its still saying "Operation not permitted" either way.

nicholas@AUDIE:~$ wpa_supplicant -Dipw -ieth1 <- looks weird

try -i eth1
