Problem with WPA-PSK TKIP on WRT54G V5

I am using WPA-PSK TKIP on a Linksys WPC54G interface connecting to a Linksys WRT54G. I run SuSE
10.0 Linux with the bcm43xx/softmac driver that is under development. I use the wext interface to
wpa_supplicant. It was working until my WRT54G V1 AP died and I replaced it with a V5 model. Now I
can connect if I use ndiswrapper, but bcm43xx no longer works.
When I run wpa_supplicant in the foreground with -dd, I see the following output:
Scan results: 3
Selecting BSS from priority group 3
0: <MAC address of AP> ssid=<my essid> wpa_ie_len=26 rsn_ie_len=0 caps=0x11
Trying to associate with <MAC address of AP> (SSID=<my essid> freq=0 Mhz)

Starting AP scan (broadcast SSID)
and it loops until stopped. Meanwile softmac is getting 'invalid pairwise cipher when associating'
messages. I never never get any RX EAPOL events with bcm43xx, nor does it ever get into the
4WAY_HANDSHAKE state. Obviously, the new AP is responding differently than did the old one and the
softmac stack cannot handle the differences, but I haven't a clue where to look. Can anyone suggest
what to look for in the data to/from the AP?
Thanks,
Larry
