Help:Can wpa_supplicant-0.3.8 work with Madwifi without openssl linked?

Dear all,

These days I am porting the wpa-supplicant-0.3.8 on an embeded system which 
is ARM cpu / linux 2.4.22/ Madwifi wireless driver.

I disabled all the EAP functions and didn't give the path to the openssl 
header files and libs (Also compiler didn't ask me for that during make).   


I hope to get sure that wpa_supplicant can work without openssl (tried) and 
any advice about the failure I described below. 
 
All the valid settings in the .config:
CONFIG_DRIVER_MADWIFI=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_WEXT=y
CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y


My wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=2
# Only WPA-PSK is used. Any valid cipher combination is accepted.
network={
        ssid="test"
        proto=WPA
        scan_ssid=1
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=TKIP
        group=TKIP
        
psk=088dfee4e3e2464026f9943ce8fc2a22ce0523955e6d9165780ce119d9609f17
        priority=5
}


After I insmod all the required modules including xauth.o, tkip.o, i run 
the wpa_supplicant as below:

# ./wlanconfig tr create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta
tr0
# ifconfig tr0 192.168.2.23 up
# ./wpa_supplicant -i tr0 -c wpa_supplicant-hex.conf -B -w
Trying tioctl essid !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
o associate with SSID 'test'
Authentiioctl essid !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cation with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out.

notes:
1. An AP called "test" with WPA TKIP enabled is nearby
2. WEP works well 

Debug print:
# ./wpa_supplicant -i tr0 -c wpa_supplicant-hex.conf -dd

Another question is: which verison of openssl is recommended to work with 
wpa-supplicant-0.3.8.  I've tried openssl-0.9.7g but stopped at 
compiling:openssl used some functions that the my arm-gcc lib not declared 
(some functions in ctype.h). 

I just start to learn wpa_supplicant.Any help from you will be great 
appreciated!


Thanks and Best regards!
