[wpa-supplicant] How to control association timeout?

Hi,

I have been told that this is the correct list for wpa_supplicant
issues. If not, please point me in the right direction.

I am using wpa_supplicant on Debian sid (version 0.5.5-2) with current
kernel and an ipw2200 interface. I am frequenly moving between my own
wireless LAN (WPA-PSK) and the wireless LAN at my girlfriend's place
(WEP-128 with hidden ssid). Here my wpa_supplicant.conf:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0

dot11RSNAConfigSATimeout=10

eapol_version=1
ap_scan=2
fast_reauth=1

network={
        id_str="wlan-home"
        ssid="<mine>"
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        psk=<mine>
}

network={
        id_str="wlan-girlfriend"
        ssid="<hers>"
        key_mgmt=NONE
        wep_key0=<hers>
        scan_ssid=1
}

At her place, my notebook first tries to associate to my home wireless
LAN for 60 seconds before moving on to her wireless LAN, where the
association succeeds immediately.

How can I shorten that time to, say, 5 seconds?

Greetings
Marc
