Some more info on this problem:
When using a WPA protected AP, wpa_supplicant cant associate either with

(the line breaks in the wpa_supplicant output have been added manually and
show when wpa_supplicant paused for a couple of seconds)
From my understanding, things start to go wrong when wpa_supplicant tries
to associate with the AP, right after scanning
As a side note, I successfully ran wpa_supplicant with the same config
file using ndiswrapper instead of madwifi. However, ndiswrapper comes with
its own drawbacks, and I d rather use madwifi.
Any help is appreciated. I m happy to run more tests too !
Thanks
