IPW2200 and WPA problems

I've got trouble getting the ipw2200 card working with WPA encryption.

The module loades fine:

ieee80211: 802.11 data/management/control stack, git-1.1.7
ieee80211: Copyright (C) 2004-2005 Intel Corporation <jketreno>
ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, git-1.1.1
ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:06.0[A] -> Link [LNKE] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11
ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
ipw2200: Detected geography ZZR (14 802.11bg channels, 0 802.11a channels)

This is the contents of my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:

network={
        ssid="home"
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=TKIP
        group=TKIP
        psk=************
}

But when I try to connect to the network it fails:
wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i eth1 -D ipw -d

Any ideas?

Re: IPW2200 and WPA problems

Got it working, I needed to invoke wpa_supplicant using "-d wext" not "-d ipw", I have no idea why, but hey, it works, I'm happy

Re: IPW2200 and WPA problems

Yea, sorry I didn't get to this earlier, but I do believe this fix is documented somewhere in the wpa_supplicant package.
