Hi,  I observed the following behaviour when using a NETGEAR WN111v2
Wireless USB adapter:

Using Netgear's Smart Wizard, i could connect to an Access Point in WPS
mode.

But I was not able to connect to the Access Point in WPS mode using
wpa_supplicant & wpa_gui. I get "Authentication with "BSSID of Access Point"
timed out"??

Regards,
Jagadish.
