BCM4312 with wpa_supplicant and custom kernel doesn't work

Hi

I have a problem with wpa_supplicant and this BCM4312 wireless card. If i try to start wpa_supplicant with WEXT driver it fails with this output:

You may have another wpa_supplicant process already running or the file was
left by an unclean termination of wpa_supplicant in which case you will need
to manually remove this file before starting wpa_supplicant again.

I read about problems with wext and wanted to compile wpa_supplicant with broadcom support, but i have no idea how to do that.

It could also be a problem with the kernel config, don't know, but wlan without encryption works great.

At the moment i am using the broadcom-wl kernel module.

I hope someone can help me.

Thanks
