Has anyone gotten "master" mode to work with wpa_supplicant?  I'm
trying to use wpa_supplicant on my wireless Gentoo router for WPA
encryption.  The farthest I've gotten is with the following
wpa_supplicant.conf:

###
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=2

network={
       ssid="mynetwork"
       mode=1
       proto=WPA
       key_mgmt=WPA-NONE
       pairwise=NONE
       group=TKIP
       psk="mypassword"
}
###

and the following /etc/conf.d/net:

###
config_ath0="192.168.0.1 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
modules_ath0="wpa_supplicant"
wpa_supplicant_ath0="-Dmadwifi"
###

Starting net.ath0 returns:

###
* Starting ath0
*   Starting wpa_supplicant on ath0 ... [ ok ]
*     ath0 connected to "mynetwork" at 00:00:00:00:00:00
*   Bringing up ath0
*     192.168.0.1 [ ok ]
###

Subsequent 'iwlist ath0 scanning' from my laptop do not show
'mynetwork' and trying to connect to it just times out.

WEP via iwconfig is working great.  Is there a better way to set WPA
encryption on my Gentoo router?
