wpa_supplicant giving "Operation not supported" error

Hi all. I recently installed Suse 9.0 on a partition on my laptop, and
was hoping to get the wireless card working. It's a D-Link DWL-G650,
rev. B3. I followed the instructions in the Madwifi FAQ to install the
drivers, and managed to get everything up and running with WEP. I then
downloaded the wpa_supplicant (version 0.2.5), built it without
problem, and copied the wpa_ files to my /usr/local/bin directory. I
set up my wpa_supplicant.conf file with the following network block:
network={
ssid="mySSID"
#psk="myWPAKey"
psk=(key generated by running wpa_passphrase on my passphrase)
scan_ssid=0
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
}
The problem is, when I run the wpa_supplicant command with a -d tag, I
get the following output:
Configuration file "/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf" -> "/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"
Reading configuration file "/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"

wpa_driver_madwifi_set_countermeasures: enabled=0

Naturally, it doesn't connect to the network. I tried the whole
process with version 0.2.4 of the wpa_supplicant and got the same
results. I don't know what those messages mean exactly, but the card
itself does support WPA (I've got it working on my Windows partition).
Can anybody point me in the right direction here? I posted this
question to the madwifi mailing list but haven't received a response
yet.
I'm a bit of a n00b to this linux stuff, so forgive me if I"m
overlooking something simple. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
