Problem with WPA-PSK

Tue May 3 09:10:45 EDT 2005

Hi everyone,
I've tried to sort this out on the gentoo forum but without success.
I want to use Wifi on my laptop and I use wpa_supplicant with atheros card AR5212. It works if I choose WEP encryption but I can't get it to work if I choose WPA-PSK.
I use wpa_supplicant v0.3.8, madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20050224, and madwifi-tools-0.1_pre20050106 from portage
System: Linux laptop 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 #5 SMP Tue Apr 26 23:29:55 BST 2005 i686 Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4     CPU 3.06GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Here is the output of running 'wpa_supplicant -iath0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dmadwifi -dd'

it stops when I hit ctrl-C, otherwise it goes on and on...

My config file is:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
network={
        ssid="my_ssid"
        psk="my psk phrase"
}

Nothing too fancy in the network block. Should I change anything? 
When I use WEP, the network block is as follows
network={
        ssid="my_ssid"
        key_mgmt=NONE
        wep_key0=mywepkey
}

Any help appreciated!

Thanks a lot,

Nicolas
