WPA - AP association Issue

Hi Bryan,

Thanks for the debug options and suggestions. 

I have done that change to events.c and tested the association again. The results are the same and the scanned number of APs are also same. [Dump is below]

The firmware on the AR5212 card uses the commands on the prompt to set the private variables and assoaicte to the AP MAC address specified in the command. 

Following are the settings I had performed on the firmware for STA on NetGear WG311T card
================
iwconfig ath0 essid "SEMCO_AP"
iwconfig ath0 key XXXX open
iwconfig ath0 frag 512 rts 40 rate 36M auto
iwpriv ath0 wpa 1 keymgtalgs 2 hostroaming 1 dropunencrypted 0 authmode 4
ifconfig ath0 192.168.1.152 up
iwconfig ath0 ap 00:14:78:8F:5E:49 -> 
This associates the device to the AP and shows the listing as associated to so and so MAC Addr
================

The dump (after the code change using WPA Src Code) from the screen is as follows:
=================
[root at localhost wpa_supplicant-0.5.8]# iwconfig ath0 essid "SEMCO_AP"
[root at localhost wpa_supplicant-0.5.8]# ifconfig ath0 192.168.1.152 up

Looking forward to your support on the problem. I am also scanning through other changes / settings, but none has helped yet.

Thanks
