ioctls SIOCSIWMODE SIOCGIWRANGE SIOCSIWAP, etc.. not supported by backports drivers.


Goodmorning eberybody.
I'm trying to use backports-3.10-2 to get latest WiFi dongle driver.
I did 2 tests with a WiFi dongle with rtl8187 chipset.
During the first test I installed kernel modules to use WiFi dongle. This works properly:
Code:
#insmod kernel_modules/cfg80211.ko
#insmod kernel_modules/mac80211.ko
#insmod kernel_modules/rtl8187.ko
#ifconfig wlan0 up
#iwconfig wlan0 essid aldroid
#wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211,wext -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
#udhcpc -i wlan0   <- Here, I'veobtained a IP address from "aldroid" net
If I perform the same test with backports-3.10-2 drivers, I got the ioctls error described in the subject:

Code:
#insmod backports-3.10-2/compat/compat.ko
#insmod backports/backports-3.10-2/compat/compat_firmware_class.ko
#insmod backports-3.10-2/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko
#insmod backports-3.10-2/net/mac80211/mac80211.ko
#insmod backports-3.10-2/drivers/net/wireless/rtl818x/rtl8187/rtl8187.ko
#wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211,wext -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
