wpa_supplicant : Association request to the driver failed

Thu Apr 2 23:11:40 PDT 2009

Hi guys,

I don't know if this is the right place to ask such kind of questions, but I really run out of ideas.

Chip: Marvell sd8686 (SDIO based)
Kernel: Linux 2.6.24
Driver: libertas with wireless extension (V22)

Everything works fine, I also got a scan result using "iwlist eth0 scan" command. But I failed to connect to my AP (WPA-PSK TKIP) with wpa_supplicant.

Configuration file:
$ cat /etc/wpa.conf
# WPA-PSK/TKIP

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
    ssid="tiger"
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    proto=WPA
    pairwise=TKIP
    group=TKIP
    psk="OnyxWpa2009"
}

Logs from wpa_supplicant:
