Hi,
i have compiled both the SVN/CVS WPA_Supplicant and MadWifi code successfully and the modules have loaded fine :-
ath_pci 84592 0
ath_rate_sample 12928 1 ath_pci
wlan 172720 7 wlan_scan_ap,wlan_tkip,wlan_scan_sta,wlan_wep,ath_pci,ath_rate_sample

ath_pci 84592 0
ath_rate_sample 12928 1 ath_pci

ath_hal 214832 3 ath_pci,ath_rate_sample
and /var/log/messages reports all okay :-

If I scan for my AP I can find it no problem at all :-

But when I try and connect using :-
wpa_supplicant -Dmadwifi -iath0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -d
I get the following and it just fails :-

Within my configuration file I have the following :-
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="stanford"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk=secret
}
Is there anything else I should be doing ? I have tried changing the ap_scan mode after destroying the interface first, but still no joy. Systems
specs as follows :-

I hope you are able to help, fed up of cable running across my room :D
