Problem with acx111

Hi!

I am trying to connect via a PCMCIA-Card using a TI ACX111 chip. As the 
oss driver does not support WPA2 i use ndiswrapper in connection with 
the windows driver, which works perfect on the same hardware running 
windows (tnet1130, device 104C:9066). The oss driver (acx) is 
blacklisted.

Both NetworkManager and 'pure' wpa_supplicant have problems to establish 
a connection: Most of the time it does not work: NM gives up after 
about 60 seconds while wpa_supplicant tries 'forever'. Then from time 
to time a connection is established and rock solid.

As far as i understand the debugging output, the connection is always 
successfully established for a short moment: 

State: GROUP_HANDSHAKE -> COMPLETED
CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:1b:11:38:90:ee completed (auth) 
[id=0 id_str=]

But then there is something like a endless loop:

State: COMPLETED -> 4WAY_HANDSHAKE
State: 4WAY_HANDSHAKE -> GROUP_HANDSHAKE
State: GROUP_HANDSHAKE -> COMPLETED
State: COMPLETED -> 4WAY_HANDSHAKE
and so on...

If you want to have a closer look at the debugging output:

Do you need more information?
Do you have any suggestions how to solve or further track down the 
problem?

Best regards,
Henning
