Comment (by anonymous):
Hi.
I also have the same problem. Im initially used the latest stable release
of wpa_supplicant which is 4.9-something. I first used the madwifi
snapshot r1711 since it is the first snapshot I got my Atheros AR5006EG
(PCIe) to run with. Later I tried it with the r1816 snapshot of madwifi.
With both I got the following errors (keep in mind that here I used
wpa_supplicant 4.9):
{{{

I just now tried it with the r1816 madwifi snapshot and the lastest
developement release of wpa_supplicant which is 0.5.6. With this
configuration I get a slightly different error, though the result is the
same...

By the way: the card works perfectly without any Encryption (ie. without
wep or wpa). iwlist, iwconfig, etc. all work with both drivers... although
I didn´t have in mind running my network unprotected... :-)
By By the way: I tried loading the wlan modules by hand as proposed in one
of the links above (ie: modprobe wlan_scan_ap, wlan_tkip, etc.) and that
didn´t help either...
Any help is greatly appreciated. I´m definitely willing to help find the
problem although I´m still quite a newbie to Linux (ie: error-dumps and
such are still not familiar to me, as well as the error-tracking-system on
this site...)
