no suitable AP found

[Peter Hartmann]

hello,

like some people before me i get an error while connecting to a wpa-tkip-
encrypted net using the following components:
* wpa_supplicant-0.5.7 (with driver hostap)
* linux-wlan-ng-0.2.5
* d-link dwl-122 or netgear ma-111
* linux kernel 2.6.16.29

i do not really know whether the problem is at the wlan-ng-drivers or at
wpa_supplicant; wpa_supplicant says the driver is not wpa-capable. however,
i've heard of the wlan-ng drivers running with wpa_supplicant.

on the other side, wpa_supplicant does not seem to recognize wpa-encrypted
nets (the one i want to use is the "FritzBox..." thing, and it is
wpa-encrypted, other windows-machines are connected to it using wpa),
the command "wpa_supplicant -dd -w -Dhostap -iwlan0" says:
