Trying to connect to network with LEAP authentication

I finally was able to get the ipw3945 driver to give
debugging messages. This time, the driver is version
1.1.0, patched into the 2.6.18 kernel and compiled
against ieee80211 1.2.15, also patched into the
kernel. My config file for wpa_supplicant is still
this:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

ctrl_interface_group=0

eapol_version=1

ap_scan=1

fast_reauth=1

network={
	ssid="tsunami"
	key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
	eap=LEAP
	identity="jjr19"
	password="xxxxxxxx"
}

These are the debugging messages that I get from the
driver:

What I noticed were the lines saying that a networe
was excluded because of a "privacy mismatch". I can
almost guess what this means (wrong encryption
settings?) but I don't know how it would be fixed.
