WPA-PSK with the WLAN card WG311T von Netgear

hi

I have Debian Sarge Stable,
but WPA-PSK with the WLAN card WG311T from Netgear won't work:

Code:

# lsmod | grep ath
ath_pci                81596  0
ath_rate_sample        16584  1 ath_pci
wlan                  146140  4 wlan_wep,ath_pci,ath_rate_sample
ath_hal               148592  3 ath_pci,ath_rate_sample


# vi /etc/default/wpasupplicant

Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out.

knows someone what's wrong ?
for example WEP worked with the same hardware without any problems.

doesn't work either if I try to add manually:

Code:

debian:~# ifconfig ath0 up
debian:~# iwconfig ath0 mode "managed"
debian:~# iwpriv ath0 set AuthMode="WPAPSK"
Invalid command : set
debian:~# iwpriv ath0 set EncrypType="AES"
Invalid command : set
debian:~# iwpriv ath0 set WPAPSK="mykey"
Invalid command : set

It works now !

I've done following:
first download & install the newest madwifi:

Code:

z
# cd /usr/src
# svn checkout http://svn.madwifi.org/trunk madwifi-ng
# cd madwifi-ng
# make clean 
# make
# make install

now install the newest wpa_supplicant from http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/:

Code:

# cd wpa_supplicant-0.4.8
# cat .config
CONFIG_DRIVER_MADWIFI=y
CFLAGS += -I/usr/src/madwifi-ng
CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y
# make clean
# make 
# make install

I have only one problem
I didn't get any errors during the installation, but my wlan card is double identificated now as ath0 and wifi0:

Code:
