I have a PCMCIA 3COM 3CRPAG175 which is listed as supported by madwifi.

I am using wpa_supplicant 0.3.9 as the newer version (0.4.8) built for my
distro (slax) does not have madwifi support.

Here's my wpa_supplicant.conf (I have also tried with ap_scan = 0 and 1, and
without that option)

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="JODI"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
group=TKIP
psk="pass*phrase~Here"
}

Here is how I'm running wpa_supplicant, I have also tried -Dwext and using
-B rather than -dd

wpa_supplicant -dd -i ath0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dmadwifi

Finally here's a chunk of the log that is returned
