Problems with WPA-PSK and madwifi driver

[Michael Reilly]

Atheros based cards have not worked with madwifi and wpa_supplicant for me for 
several months.  I have been forced to purchased a driverloader license which 
does work with wpa_supplicant and my Atheros based cards

I also tried ndisdriver but it wouldn't even find the APs (Cisco, Linksys, 
D-Link) then.
