Hi Derek, 

You're right, is not. I'm trying to get wpa_supplicant to work 'cause
Network-Manager uses it for all connection, independent of whether you
need WPA or not. This seems like a good idea, except that now I have
moving part to worry about. I don't know where to file a bug, 'cause I
don't know if the problem is with Madwifi or wpa_supplicant (NM seems to
be innocent)

Again, I'd really appreciate any help or pointers about how to debug
this.

Thanks,
Carlos
