I am running Fedora Core 3, ndiswrapper 1.1, wpa supplicant 0.3.8.

Wireless works with no encryption/wep, but I would like to get wpa working.

Any ideas?  Anymore info needed? 
Thanks in advance,

Andy

My config file looks like this

# allow frontend (e.g., wpa_cli) to be used by all users in 'atripp' group
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=atripp
#
# home network; allow all valid ciphers
network={
        ssid="revonex"
        scan_ssid=1
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        psk="mykey"
}

When I run debug I get this

[root at localhost etc]# wpa_supplicant -iwlan0
-c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -d -Dndiswrapper
