madwifi + wpa_supplicant has worked fine in my tests during the last
months and number of different APs and different security policies etc.
This has been with numerous CVS versions of both madwifi and
wpa_supplicant.

I could repeat my comment above for ndiswrapper + wpa_supplicant case.
However, in this case there have been a bit more variance based on which
NDIS driver version was used.


In other words, there a lots of known cases where both of these
combinations work fine. In order to resolve possibly remaining issues,
more detailed reports are needed. These should include exact description
of the used configuration (both the AP and client sides) and debug logs
from all the possible sources (AP, authentication server, client (both
driver and wpa_supplicant debug).
