Association fails on WPA-EAP (TKIP) network

Hi, I'm trying to configure my Sharp Zaurus SL-5600 handheld (OpenZaurus 
3.5.4.1-rc, kernel 2.6.16) to use my household wireless network. The network 
uses WPA-EAP (PEAP-MSCHAPv2) with TKIP encryption. The hardware is a U.S. 
Robotics USR-8054 802.11g wireless router (in AP-only mode) and is being 
backed by FreeRADIUS 1.1.0.

The Zaurus has wpa_supplicant 0.4.8 with hostap-drivers 0.4.4 (I believe they 
come from the kernel.org tree), and the hardware there is a SanDisk 
ConnectPlus (Prism3 SSF), which is using STA firmware 1.8.4 and PRI firmware 
1.1.2. It will not associate with the network, it continually loops between 
scanning and associating, timing out each time, until it is canceled. This 
behavior is NOT specific to the Zaurus, I can put the same card in my 
Thinkpad via a PCMCIA-CF adapter and reproduce the same behavior. 
Additionally, the behavior was the same on the 2.4.18 kernel available for 
the SL-5600 from OpenZaurus.

Below is the debug output of wpa_supplicant. The behavior is the same 
regardless of which WPA driver I use, wext or hostap. In case that's not 
enough, I have Ethereal dump files created from my Thinkpad (Kismet using 
ipw2200 monitor mode) while the Zaurus was attempting to connect. I don't 
attach that because it likely contains passwords and such, but I can e-mail 
it to people off list.
