Hi folks,                                                                       
                                                                                
I tried to get wpa_supplicant working with my Netgear WGA511 cardbus            
card and a Netgear WGR614v1 AP. The access point was flashed with new           
firmware which supports WPA, and it also works for a short time (1              
second), but then wpa_supplicant will start again, which leads to an            
endless loop. Between the loop cycles, the running ping will recieve a          
reply sometimes, so the configuration seems to be some sort of right.           
                                                                                
However, I don't know how I should read the wpa_supplicant messages to          
solve the retry loop problem. I started wpa_supplicant this way:                
                                                                                
wpa_supplicant -d -iath0 -Dmadwifi -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf                  
                                                                                
Here is my wpa_supplicant.conf:

ap_scan=1

}                                                                               
                                                                                
The wpa_supplicant output is attached. Apperently, the connection is up         
after the line "RTM_NEWLINK, IFLA_IFNAME: Interface 'ath0' added", but          
only for ~1 second.                                                             
                                                                                
I use wpa_supplicant 0.4.0 on a Debian unstable system, together with           
the madfifi driver (BSD branch).                                                
                                                                                
Any hints?                                                                      
                                                                                
Regards,
