That New Access Point event is there and like I said, wpa_supplicant
does not care about IEEE 802.11 auth, so no much point in adding a new
wireless event for that.

Hmm.. I believe that I was able to get the card to authenticate in MLME
extended mode. This was in January. I think I sent the WPA scanning
patch to prism54-devel at that point and then sent the other, more
experimental parts for MLME handling to you in June. Some kind of
combinations of these changes was able to authenticate with a WPA AP,
but I did not get the card to associate with the AP with WPA IE. It
looked like the firmware implementation and documentation did not
exactly match on this.. Anyway, I haven't spent much time on this after
that initial effort.
