I think that the original poster changed the router, but I have access to
one and I have hostap and madwifi drived stuff to test with the speedtouch.
The only way I've been able to connect with this router from linux has been
using a ralink card using the internal wpa implementation, not
wpa_supplicant, all other cards I have need wpa_supplicant and thus are not
able to connect to the router.

I'm willing to test any patches to try to help sort this out so that
wpa_supplicant and thus most of Linux drivers can connect to this router.
