Does ipw2100 driver support Network EAP authentication algorithm? This
is Cisco proprietary solution and most Linux drivers do not support it.
If the AP is configured to allow both Network EAP and Open System (with
EAP), you might be able to associate after configuring wpa_supplicant to
use open system authentication (auth_alg=OPEN).
