wpa_supplicant

Anyone know anything about wpa_supplicant?

My OS is Fedora Core 4 with the latest kernel 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4.stk16
I installed wpa_supplicant using the wpa_supplicant-0.3.9-8.rhfc4.at rpm
package.
I am running a Dell Truemobile 1350 PCMCIA card using ndiswrapper and
the bcmwl5 driver. All is fine in cleartext and using WEP.

My AP is set to use WPA-PSK using TKIP. My passphrase is "This is a
test". I set it to broadcast my SSID.

My wpa conf file looks like:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=2

network={
ssid="engelsman1"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
psk="This is a test"
}

I invoke wpa_supplicant with this command:

$ wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/my_supplicant.conf -Dndiswrapper -d -w

It almost works... I get the following output:

Associated with 00:13:10:1f:e9:f7
Authentication with 00:13:10:1f:e9:f7 timed out.
Trying to associate with SSID "engelsman1"
Disconnect event - remove keys

Over and over and over...

The MAC address is right, so it's seeing my AP. But the WPA
authentication isn't happening. Anybody see what's wrong?

TIA

It worked for me with only :
network={
ssid="You don't have to know my ssid"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="You don't have to know"
}

Otherwise some wifi works with iwpriv wpa setup...

In the hope, it could help..
