#658: No suitable AP found using wpa_supplicant, IWEVGENIE OVERFLOW during scan.

---------------------------------------+------------------------------------
Doesn't matter which versions I use, wpa_supplicant and madwifi refuse to
work together for me. Currently I'm using madwifi svn r1611 w/
wpa_supplicant 0.4.9, and wireless-tools 0.28. If I use madwifi-old, I get
the same problems just without the IWEVGENIE overflow error. Connects just
find in windows... My hardware is a Belkin F5D7000 v.5000.
iwlist ath0 scan shows this: (MACs changed to protect the innocent)

But when I start WPA supplicant, it's telling me no suitable APs are in
range. It also doesn't show SSID's for any of the APs:

I've tried all sorts of config file options, and nothing seems to be able
to change this.
I think I've got the proper modules loaded:
{{{

Heres what dmesg has for me:

I've been able to get it to work with no encryption just fine, just not
with WPA.
