Ndiswrapper and virtual interfaces - WPA_supplicant can't associate

[Dudy Kohen]

Thank you,
I set those parameters now and realized what the problem is...
with the card that works I get this output in debug mode:
0: 00:1a:XX:XX:XX:XX ssid='dd-wrt_wpa' wpa_ie_len=26 rsn_ie_len=0 caps=0x11
   selected based on WPA IE
with the one that doesn't work I get this:
0: 00:1a:XX:XX:XX:XX ssid='dd-wrt_wpa' wpa_ie_len=0 rsn_ie_len=0 caps=0x11
   skip - no WPA/RSN IE

Any idea as to why?
Thanks again,
David
