madwifi wpa 0.4.1

[Shawn Adams]

I have a SuSE 9.2 notebook, with a PCMCIA wireless adapter, using the
MADWIFI driver.

The card works fine with WEP 104bit, open mode, but when I configure for
WPA-PSK, the card associates, but then loses association every 10
seconds, just keeps looping. The successful auth lasts long enough to
obtain an address via DHCP, and the AP reports successful auth and
association, but the 10 seconds sure sounds like the Setting
authentication timeout: 10 sec 0 usec


Any ideas would be appreciated.

thanks in advance.
