wpa_supplicant not completely connecting

[Tim Dodge]

Hi,

I'm using a couple of prism2 based pcmcia cards that have been 
successfully using the hostap driver to connect to my Dlink DWL-900AP+ 
using WEP for a couple of years.

I've been trying to get them connecting using WPA and wpa_supplicant.

They kind of half work - I get a connection (which I'm using now), but 
its very slow, as the card never seems to connect completely.

wpa_cli -iwlan0 status seems to alternate from:

mrsix ~ # wpa_cli -iwlan0 status
bssid=00:0d:88:99:aa:2e
ssid=invisibles
pairwise_cipher=TKIP
group_cipher=TKIP
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_state=GROUP_HANDSHAKE
Supplicant PAE state=CONNECTING
suppPortStatus=Unauthorized
EAP state=IDLE

to:

mrsix ~ # wpa_cli -iwlan0 status
bssid=00:0d:88:99:aa:2e
ssid=invisibles
pairwise_cipher=TKIP
group_cipher=TKIP
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_state=ASSOCIATED
Supplicant PAE state=CONNECTING
suppPortStatus=Unauthorized
EAP state=IDLE

Any idea what the problem is?

Cheers,
Tim
