Unable to complete a connection with nl80211 and wpa_supplicant?

Unable to complete a connection with nl80211 and wpa_supplicant?

[Jon Loeliger]

Guys,

Does the following log showing wpa_supplicant's inability
to assoc/auth using the nl80211 driver look familiar
to anyone?  The same setup and config works using the
wext driver. Do I just need a more recent wireless-testing
kernel?  This is wireless-testing at d1a6d5c2f6.  And
if it matters, it's the ar9170 driver below that.

Thanks,
jdl


# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf 
network={
	ssid="bigfoot"
	scan_ssid=1
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
	psk="my-secret"
}


# wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf  -Dnl80211 -i wlan0

Huh. Can you show dmesg during this time?
