Madwifi + wpa_supplicant (cannot get IP)

Hi,

I'm having trouble using network-manager, and the problem seems to be
with the interaction of wpa_supplicant and madwifi.

I'm using wpa_supplicant v0.5.5 and madwifi 0.9.2 (r1809) with a 2.6.17
kernel. For starters, I'm trying to get dhcp to work, that is, connect
to a completely open AP (no WEP, WPA, etc). This does not seems to work.
I have the following config:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
       ssid="Patagonia"
       key_mgmt=NONE
       auth_alg=OPEN
 }

and try (with network-manager turned off and just after modprobing
madwifi, just in case):

 wpa_supplicant -iath0 -cwpa_supplicant.conf -d

And then if I put the process in the background and try to get an IP:

and so forth... no luck.

Any ideas?
