wpa_supplicant drops connection

Fri Jun 9 17:19:09 PDT 2006

Hi,

For some reason my wpa connections are dropping/timing out. I've noticed 
this behavior on a number of networks, and did not have the problem when 
using wep encryption, so I'm pretty sure it's wpa related.

Versions:
Slackware 10.2
Linux 2.6.13
wpa_supplicant 0.4.9
Any others needed?

Here is some of the output, let me know if it is not enough:

at which point i can get an ip address and all is fine, until suddenly I 
no longer have the network again.  The output at this point is:

and then it just keeps going on like that.

Any suggestions for me?
