madwifi/wpa_supplicant with WPA-PSK (TKIP) Problem

Hello to everyone.
I tried to config WPA-PSK(TKIP) with wpa_suplicant for my T40p Notebook. I have done it like it is written in the wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wpa_supplicant). The card configuration is ok (I think). But what makes trouble is the authentification with WPA.
I get this message:

ioctl[IEEE80211_IOCTL_SETMLME]: Invalid argument

This is my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:

# WPA

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
    ssid="TheSSID"
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    proto=WPA
    psk="blablabla"
    group=TKIP
}

Any Suggestions? The same wpa_supplicant.conf works under FreeBSD.

Re: madwifi/wpa_supplicant with WPA-PSK (TKIP) Problem

Have you tried connecting to the access point with WPA disabled? Or any open access point for that matter.

You could try to explicitly add pairwise=TKIP to your wpa_supplicant.conf, just to be sure, although it shouldn't matter. That is the only difference I see compared to mine which works for me. Otherwise it might help if you post your network profile or rc.conf.
