problem associating

[Norbert Preining]

Hi all!

I cannot get wpa_supplicant to associate with a hidden ap, while on
windows it is working.

Reading the debug I see
0: 00:17:df:37:ba:60 ssid='' wpa_ie_len=0 rsn_ie_len=0 caps=0x1
   skip - no WPA/RSN IE
No suitable AP found.

so the AP is found, but not considered suitable. (full log below)

Can someone tell me what is the problem in my configuration? Thanks a
lot!

Hardware: iwl3945

wpa_supplicant.conf:
ap_scan=1
network={
	ssid="vummiv"
	key_mgmt=NONE
	scan_ssid=1
}
