Still can't get this to work at all

[Christopher Bohan]

I have been trying since June to get wireless networking to work via
wpa_supplicant without any success. My last requests for help received
no response. I really need to get this to work, so I have decided to
ask again.

I am using a 2.6.23 kernel with the zd1211rw driver built in, and
wpa_supplicant-0.5.7. I need to connect to a wpa-psk (only) network.

Can anyone tell my why this doesn't work, and what I have to do to get
it to work?
