WPA is not supported"

I'm trying to connect to a WPA access point (which works well - I'm
connecting with a HP iPAQ to it using WPA-PSK) from my laptop with a DWL-
G650 cardbus card.
I'm using Mandriva 2005 with the today's Subversion madwifi-ng modules.
The modules load fine, I can find the access point using "iwlist ath0":
{{{

However, when I launch "wpa_supplicant -Dmadwifi -iath0
-c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -ddd" I get:
{{{

.... here it does nothing for a long time, so I eventually CTRL-C:

If I turn crypto and wpa debugging on using "80211debug +crypto +wpa", I
can see the message in the kernel logs when I launch wpa_supplicant:
