I modified my wpa_supplicant.conf:

network={
        ssid="my_ssid"
 	proto=WPA RSN
 	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
 	pairwise=CCMP
 	group=CCMP
	psk=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
}

I alsa tried: proto=RSN WPA and proto=RSN
That did not work.

I really don't understand that message...
Failed to initialize EAPOL state machines.
That's all the information I have. If I use the -dd argument, there's
nothing more interesting (it give the HEXA values of my PSK and so
on...)
