The code for individual key generation and configuration is now available, but it will certainly need more testing. I managed to get the connection working with one station using WinXP Supplicant and Orinoco driver. Testing with more that one station would be useful and getting some debug info out of WinXP Supplicant would have been helpful.. Every now and then WinXP claimed that the connection failed even though it worked fine, etc.

Maybe it would be time to make sure that Host AP driver works with individual keys when in Managed mode and modify Xsupplicant to support configuring individual keys for the driver when in station mode.. This should make debugging the AP code easier.
