Which version of the ipw2100 driver are you using? You might also
consider testing wpa_supplicant v0.3.8 since ipw driver interface was
changed and the ipw2100/2200 drivers may not be fully in sync with the
driver interface. wpa_supplicant 0.3.9 changes this interface to a newer
one, so if your driver is still using the old version, 0.3.8 may work
better.

This is likely to be fine; wpa_supplicant just tries to make sure old
keys are removed and the driver may report that it fails to remove keys
that were not configured in the first place.

This is more serious issue. It looks like the driver does not report
that the AP is using WPA. Unless you are already using the latest
version of the driver, I would recommend updating it first.

I already had the latest ipw2100 files - driver is 1.1.0 and the
firmware is 0.55. I took your suggestion and went and downloaded and
compile the wpa_supplicant 0.38 and still have the same problem. No
difference in the output.<br>
<br>
The odd part is that all detected AP's have the 0 length for the wpa_ie
and rsn_ie. What do these values mean? What would be expected here?
