Can't authenticate: WPA, RaLink 2500 (NdisWrapper), SpeedTouch 580 router

Yet another plea for help... I can't get my wireless link to authenticate when
 using wpa_supplicant.  

My machine's running FC 3 (2.6.10-1.770_FC3smp kernel, in case you're
 interested).

I've got a Belkin Wireless G Desktop card (RaLink 2500 chipset, PCI bus)
 working under NdisWrapper 1.13.  The wireless hub is a Thomson SpeedTouch 580
 wireless router.  The wireless link works perfectly when the router is
 configured with "No security".

I've downloaded wpa_supplicant 0.4.8 and compiled from source (the .config
 file is below) then copied the executables to /usr/local/bin.  I use
 wpa_passphrase to generate the WPA key:

[root at temujin ~]# wpa_passphrase IDNET <keyphrase here>
network={
        ssid="IDNET"
        #psk="<keyphrase"
        psk=0c34f..long key ...758497bdce1d2f
}

and use that as the basis of /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf (again, below).

I then give the commands...

[root at temujin ~]# ifdown wlan0
[[ Set router to use WPA encryption ]]
[root at temujin ~]# ifconfig wlan0 up
[root at temujin ~]# wpa_supplicant -Dndiswrapper -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd

...and it all goes horribly wrong.  wpa_supplicant gets to the 4-way handshake
 stage and then gives up.  If I omit the -Dndiswrapper option (or use -Dwext),
 things don't even get to the 4-way handshake stage.  

Yes, the passphrases are identical on both the router and the Linux box 
(I've tried a few alternatives).  The router is using TKIP encryption.


Can anyone give any suggestions as to what I should do to get this working?

(There was something in this list's archives about problems with this router 
having different MAC addresses for the wireless connection and the WPA
authentication, e.g. the debug lines...

Associated to a new BSS: BSSID=00:11:f5:89:f7:57
...
RX EAPOL from 00:0e:50:b2:b9:f2

...but I couldn't find if that was either resolved or relevant.)


Thanks,

Neil.
