Thanks,
This is the output from lsmod:

hostap_pci             53237  0
hostap                102345  1 hostap_pci
nvram                   8393  0
orinoco_pci             7757  0
orinoco                36565  1 orinoco_pci
hermes                  7489  2 orinoco_pci,orinoco
ohci1394               31749  0

Looks like both orinoco and hostap are loaded, but I'm pretty sure hostap is the one that's used because my wireless interface is called wlan0 and I have wifi0 there too.  I am not sure what version though, it came with my FC5 installation so I'm pretty sure it's quite new.
here is the debug output:
>>  wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dhostap -wdd

It just keeps looping at the following output (Maybe because my ESSID isn't broadcasted it misses it?):

Which driver version are you using?

Could you please send debug output (i.e., add -dd to that command line)?
Without it, there is not enough verbosity to figure out what is
happening.
