Failed to enable WPA in the driver - hostap-driver 0.2.4

[Joshua Wright]

I'm trying to use the wpa_supplicant driver with my enGenius Prism2.5 
card and Hostap driver 0.2.4.  I've followed the intructions in the 
wpa_supplicant README, but I'm getting "Failed to enable WPA in the 
driver" from wpa_supplicant:

I checked out the previous postings to the list and found 
http://sisyphus.iocaine.com/pipermail/hostap/2004-June/006916.html, but 
I believe I am using the correct driver in this case:

~:# dmesg | grep hostap

The "wpa" and "getwpa" ioctl's seem to be present in the output from 
"iwpriv", but I get an error when I try to enable wpa:

~:# iwpriv wlan0 wpa 1
<mapping sub-ioctl wpa to cmd 0x8BE0-36>
Interface doesn't accept private ioctl...
wpa (8BE0): Operation not supported

The "hostap_crypt_wep" module was already loaded in my testing, so I 
manually loaded the "hostap_crypt_tkip" (modprobe hostap_crypt_tkip), 
but no changes.  I've included the relevant portions of my 
wpa_supplicant.conf file at the end of this message.  Any suggestions 
are appreciated.  Thanks,
