wpa_supplicant + ndiswrapper + WPA-PSK-AP

[Neville Chandler]

I'm also having problems accessing my AP.

I have a Dell TrueMobile 1300 in a Dell laptop which works quite well 
with ndiswrapper-1.1 if encryption is disabled. However, I've been 
unsuccessful with WPA (using  wpa_supplicant -0.3.8 ).  The AP  ( WRT54G 
with Firmware Version: v3.01.3 )  is configured for  WPA PSK TKIP and is 
never found.  

Over the last few days I've tried ndiswrapper-1.1 and 
ndiswrapper-1.1+CVS.Firmware Version: v3.01.3

System details and logs follow, any pointers or suggestions will be 
greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
