Hello guys my first post here.

I have simmiliar problems trying to associate to APs using
wpa_supplicant and a converted WindowsXP driver of my ASUS WLAN 100g
card, i think the chipset is broadcom.
I don't know which information is relevant so i'll try to give u as
much as i can.

My setup is
# uname -a
FreeBSD erazor.home 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Nov  3
09:36:13 UTC 2005
root at x64.samsco.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

On a Thinkpad R40. With as i allready said ASUS WLAN adapter.
And i try to associate with a 11Mb AP set on Channel 1 with ssid "LUB"
without encryption.

Firstly i converted and loaded my drivers.
And i get this message when i plugin my card :

cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=2000
ndis0: <ASUS 802.11g Network Adapter> mem 0xd0202000-0xd0203fff irq 11
at device 0.0 on cardbus0
ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1

When i try to associate with ifconfig with the following parameters :

# ifconfig ndis0 inet 10.2.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid LUB

everything is OK, when i run ifconfig ndis0, it shows status: associated
althought the lights on the card does not lit, the card is working
since i'm posting here using it now...

but when i try to use wpa_supplicant :

# wpa_supplicant -i ndis0 -c /etc/wpa_sup

with the following network block :

network={
	ssid="LUB"
	key_mgmt=NONE
}

i get :
Trying to associate with 00:08:a1:52:d1:a3 (SSID='LUB' freq=2412 MHz)
Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out.


using the -d switch shows this :

<snip>
wpa_driver_bsd_associate: ssid 'LUB' wpa ie len 0 pairwise 0 group 0 key mgmt 2
wpa_driver_bsd_associate: set PRIVACY 0
Setting authentication timeout: 5 sec 0 usec
Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out.
Added BSSID 00:00:00:00:00:00 into blacklist
</snip>

The same thing happens when i try to associate with the AP at work
which uses WEP encryption, firstly i thought that i had some
configuration errors on the wpa_supplicant conf file, but since it
gives me the same error on an AP without encryption maybe the problem
is elsewhere...

Thank you for reading and any replies.
