I use different cards:
        Linksys WPC54G-DE (broadcom)
        Dell TrueMobile 1150 (lucent 802.11b)
        Centrino (Intel stuff)

All with the same error. It seams not to be a hardware related problem.
The problem is the EAPOL-State machine implemented in Windows XP.
hostap (latest development cvs) runs on Prism2.5 MiniPCI with:
primary firmware: 1.1.1
secondary firmware: 1.7.4

I will test it with atheros.
