WAP-PSK TKIP connection woes

I am using FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE and wpa_supplicant 0.4.8 to connect to a
Linksys wireless router doing WPA-PSK TKIP encryption via a ndis0
interface.

I successfully have ndis0 configured and functioning and can scan my AP

However, I cannot get wpa_supplicant to connect to my AP under any
configuration. I ran wpa_supplicant with the -dd option but see nothing
that stands out. I'm hoping that someone can help.

wpa_supplicant.conf:
--------------------

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel

network={
   ssid="linksys"
   bssid:00:12:17:d1:7a:17
   proto=WPA
   key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
   pairwise=TKIP
   group="TKIP"
   scan_ssid=0   # scan_ssid=1 prodes a kernel trap and page fault
   psk="my ASCII password since fbsd 6.1 dosent have wpa_passphrase"
}

running wpa_supplicant -i ndis0 -c /eta/wpa_supplicant
------------------------------------------------------
Trying to associate with 00:12:17:d1:7a:17 (SSID='linksys' freq=2437 MHz)
Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out

wlan_tkip.ko is loaded

I cannot physically type the output of -dd and cannot paste the output
because obviously I dont have a net connection. But, I can respond with
specific questions about the output of -dd if it helps
