[SOLVED] WPA_Supplicant update stopped netcfg from working.

The following command works:

wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i eth0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
dhclient eth0

...however, netconfig doesn't work. If I try "netcfg home" I get:

wpa_supplicant: invalid option -- 'w'

..From what I understand, netcfg is trying to use an old attribute that wpa_supplicant doesn't like.
Is there some way around this? Here is my code for netcfg:

CONNECTION="wireless"
DESCRIPTION="Home Connection"
INTERFACE=eth0
#SCAN="yes"
SECURITY="wpa"
ESSID="********"
KEY="********"
IP="dhcp"
TIMEOUT=20

#QUIRKS=(predown prescan wpaessid)

Okay... never mind. An update came out for netcfg that works.
