wpa_supplicant and MA311 using hostap-driver

Tue May 1 07:21:25 PDT 2007

Hello

I have a problem using wpa_supplicant (v0.5.7) with a Netgear MA311
(PCI, Prism2.5 chipset) using the hostap-driver.

If I want to connect to my AP via wpa_supplicant, I get the message
        ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: Invalid argument
(details and context see debug-output below).

I have loaded the kernel modules for aes and arc4, ieee80211_crypt_tkip
and ieee80211_crypt_ccmp and of course the hostap_pci and hostap
modules. My kernelversion is 2.6.17 (but I tested it also with kernel
2.6.20). 

The card's firmware is:
wifi0: NIC: id=0x8013 v1.0.0
wifi0: PRI: id=0x15 v1.1.1
wifi0: STA: id=0x1f v1.7.4
wifi0: Intersil Prism2.5 PCI: mem=0xdfcff000, irq=11

Also here I have tested with the latest firmware 1.8.4. But as
mentionend here http://linux.junsun.net/intersil-prism/ version 1.7.4
should be best as 1.8.4 has some flaws.

Has somebody an idea what I am doing wrong or how to solve my problem?

Thanks in advance,
Marco

PS: Yes, the card should be WPA-capable as mentioned here for example:
