I've tried vanilla 2.6.16.11 + madwifi-ng r1531. The suppplicant is neither
working in wext mode nor in madwifi(ng). What revision of -ng are you using
with wext mode?
At the moment I'm using madwifi-ng 0.svnr1500.20060412 from
http://debian.tu-bs.de/project/kanotix/experimental with the madwifi(ng)
supplicant driver. You stated that wext support is working since 1499. For me
r1500 works only with the madwifi(ng) driver not with wext.
I've attached the log of r1531 wext mode. Some notes about my setup:
00:0f:66:d3:90:50 is my wrt54gs accss point
Ankh-Morpork is my hidden ssid
I'm using WPA.
It seems that the supplicant does not associate because the ssid is empty.

I think I'll have the pleasure to debug the beast with you ;)

I just felt, that I should give something back to Debian. Because -ng is the
only working driver on my Intel Mac Mini I thougt that others will have the
same problem.
Is there a madwifi-ng repository that I could test against?
Thanks,
