Buffalo WLA2-G54L with WPA PSK and AES?

Dear Sirs:

I am using a Buffalo WLI-CB-G54A wireless card with Linuxant drivers
(the card associates quite nicely without encryption!), on a 2.6.9
kernel (custom) using version 0.3.8 version of the wpa_supplicat
driver.  I have turned off SSID broadcasts, as well.  I have told the
ap to use WPA-PSk with AES as the algorythm.

My wpa_supplicant file looks like this:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=0
fast_reauth=1
# Simple case: WPA-PSK, PSK as an ASCII passphrase, allow all valid ciphers
network={
	ssid="munnster"
	psk="somephrase"
}

When I run wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -ieth1 -d I get
"could not read bssid from driver."

My wireless device is eth1, and again, it works great w/o encryption
(packets, etc. work fine.)  Not sure were to go from here, since I
don't want to enable Broadcast SSID on the interface.

Sincerely,

Thomas J. Munn
