Using non-zero key index for unicast keys is against number of standards
and there are drivers that do not support this. I do not remember
whether ipw2x00 handles this or not, but this could explain why the data
connection does not work.

As far as wpa_supplicant is concerned, everything is done at this point
and the authentication and key distribution was completed successfully.

Based on my notes, this kind of configuration has worked with NDIS
drivers (wpa_supplicant on WinXP), Host AP driver, and madwifi (though,
quite an old version). I do not remember having tested this with
ipw2200.
