wpa supplicant problems

[Norbert Preining]

Dear all!

I have a small problem with wpa_supplicant and my hostap drivers:

kernel 2.6.17-rc1-mm2 or 2.6.16-mm2
debian/sid

hardware intersil:
wifi0: NIC: id=0x8022 v1.0.0
wifi0: PRI: id=0x15 v1.1.1
wifi0: STA: id=0x1f v1.8.4
wifi0: Intersil Prism2.5 PCI: mem=0xf8000000, irq=10

wpa_supplicant: 4 networks with keys, one open. Nothing PSK related,
simple WEP.

When I start wpa_supplicant it finds a AP, then suddenly the led
indicating hostap activity goes off, and loads of error messages.

Here is the dmesg output:

hostap_pci: Registered netdevice wifi0
wifi0: Original COR value: 0x0

Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that
anything so mindboggingly useful could have evolved purely
by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the
final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.
The argument goes something like this: `I refuse to prove
that I exist,' says God, `for proof denies faith, and
without faith I am nothing.'
The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't
it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you
exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't.
