Hello guys. I know this is for Android development while what im posting should be in general section but i want to point out that on certain custom ROM like Darky ROM, when i apply Voodoo lag fix, my wifi connection on the galaxy S stopped working on WPA/WPA2 EAP.

According to a few sites, this is normal in 2.2.1 as the software itself is buggy. I dont experience this on my Motorola Droid running 2.2.1 but on galaxy s, it doesnt work.

I search in this forum but ive found no ans, so i google it. and apparently theres a bug fix for the wpa_supplicant

Download this in replace your current one in system/bin/wpa_supplicant.

All developers should replace their WPA_supplicant with these in all the 2.2.1 rom and perhaps 2.3 rom too.

Cheers! Now my galaxy S is able to connect to my home network on wpa2!

Just for Info:

On 2.6.35 / gingerbread the kernel module bcm43XX.ko at /system/modules/ must match the kernel.

It means when you compile a kernel, you've to use the bcm kernel module which will be compiled with these kernel. Otherwise Wifi won't work at all.
It's not possible to flash another kernel without replacing the module.
