Has anyone had success with wpa_supplicant and the softmac stack? Is
this expected to work? When I try to use it, it seems to associate but
fails to recognize it, or perhaps fails to authenticate. Using iwconfig
by hand works fine. I'm using -Dwext


Yes, I use wpa_supplicant with the wext interface and the softmac stack. I use SuSE 10.0 and the interface is configured automatically with the script in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0 that has the following contents:

BOOTPROTO='dhcp'
BROADCAST=''
IPADDR=''
MTU=''
NAME='Ethernet Network Card'
NETMASK=''
NETWORK=''
REMOTE_IPADDR=''
STARTMODE='auto'
USERCONTROL='no'
WIRELESS_AP=''
WIRELESS_AUTH_MODE='psk'
WIRELESS_BITRATE='auto'
WIRELESS_CA_CERT=''
WIRELESS_CHANNEL=''
WIRELESS_CLIENT_CERT=''
WIRELESS_DEFAULT_KEY='0'
WIRELESS_ESSID='<my essid>'
WIRELESS_FREQUENCY=''
WIRELESS_KEY=''
WIRELESS_KEY_0=''
WIRELESS_KEY_1=''
WIRELESS_KEY_2=''
WIRELESS_KEY_3=''
WIRELESS_KEY_LENGTH='128'
WIRELESS_MODE='Managed'
WIRELESS_NICK=''
WIRELESS_NWID=''
WIRELESS_POWER='yes'
WIRELESS_WPA_IDENTITY=''
WIRELESS_WPA_PASSWORD=''
WIRELESS_WPA_PSK='<my psk secret>'
_nm_name='static-0'

I also added the line 'alias   wlan0   bcm43xx' to /etc/modprobe.conf.local.
