What version of wpa_supplicant?
Which WLAN driver?
Which kernel version?
Why do you use the outdated wext?
Try it with -Dnl80211.

"iwconfig" doesn't have a good notion of being connected/disconnected. 
Try to use "iw" instead. Or, because you're using wpa_supplicant, use 
"wpa_cli status".

But you should find out. Maybe you can use another computer, go into 
monitor mode on channel 9 and trace the data exchange. But it might as 
well work once you use the currently maintained interface.

As you didn't say which driver you use, I cannot say if your "ap_scan=1" 
is correct. For example, if you ath5k, you won't need that anymore.

Also, a WPA or WPA2 passphrase must be at least 8 characters long. 
"secret" is too short.

For example, for wpa2 you could use:


network={
        ssid="Die3"
        scan_ssid=1
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        psk="secretXXXX"
        proto=WPA2
        pairwise=CCMP
        group=CCMP
}
