wpa_supplicant + madwifi-ng + kernel 2.6.14 problems

[Timo Pannes]

Hi,

since I upgraded to kernel 2.6.14 and the new madwifi-ng drivers I can't 
connect to my AP using wpa_supplicant. 
I am using Gentoo Linux with madwifi-driver + tools from brix' portage overlay 
(version 0.1397.20060115) and wpa_supplicant v0.5.0. 
The AP is self-made with hostapd and works well with various WinXP clients, so 
this can't be the problem.


Here is the output from wpa_supplicant:

When I try to get an IP the DHCP client times out... 
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
