Led me to kludge together a shell script like so:

/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dmadwifi -iath0
This should be -Dwext-----------^
The Wpa_supplicant, NetworkManager, etc. maintainers keep jumping all
over the Madwifi maintainers for not keeping up. Wireless Extensions
is now the standard and drivers not supporting it are now being pretty
much ignored by the rest of the wireless apps.
Yeah that's how I read things too but the -Dwext bombed and the very
first time I ran it as "-Dmadwifi" it worked so I kept moving...
Here is the line I worked from:
/usr/local/bin/wpa_supplicant -dd -Dmadwifi -iath0
-c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
And here is the instruction page I worked from:
http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/WPA_PSK_on_Both_Ends
One of the things I ran into (as everyone does I guess) is that the
various pieces of what works are in various locations and refer to each
other from various POV and emphasis. This page did the most to get me up
and helped me pull together other things I read on the way to getting to
this page.
I'm trying to stick and move from one stable and predictable set of
.conf files to the next. Do you have any links for the -Dwext invocation
as this link invokes -Dmadwifi ? Let me know whenever you run across
something like that again.
TIA!
