i'm surprised at that because the wpa_supplicant site specifically mentions:
Supported wireless cards/drivers
Linux drivers that support Linux Wireless Extensions v19 or newer with 
WPA/WPA2 extensions
Host AP driver for Prism2/2.5/3 (WPA and WPA2)
Linuxant DriverLoader with Windows NDIS driver supporting WPA/WPA2
Agere Systems Inc. Linux Driver (Hermes-I/Hermes-II chipset) (WPA, but not 
WPA2)
madwifi (Atheros ar521x)
ATMEL AT76C5XXx
Linux ndiswrapper
---snip-----
posssibly you haven't provided the right option to wpa_supplicant to specify 
the chipset? from the readme:
Please note that if you included more than one driver interface in the
build time configuration (.config), you may need to specify which
interface to use by including -D<driver name> option on the command
line.
i'd have thought that as long as mandriva sees the card and presents it as an 
interface - wlan0,ra0 etc. - and it's a supported chipset then you've all you 
need, in your first mail you mention "I just can't 
get my shared key accepted." maybe this is just a config problem, is this an 
ad-hoc or managed network? i can get my laptop out and look up my config for 
it's connection to my access point in managed mode if you like?
