I have to use both.  I have to use iwconfig to pick my essid and
access point, and I use wpa_supplicant to setup the encryption tunnel.
 Then I dhclient the IP address.    In previous wireless experience,
once I've set the essid , it automatically associates to the access
point (at least I can see that the MAC address is defined when I run
iwconfig).  That does not happen with this driver- only "Not
Associated" or "Invalid". Unfortunately debug for these cases isn't
spitting any info.  I've been setting my access point mac address
specifically with "iwconfig wlan0 ap <MAC>"   -before- running
wpa_supplicant since I thought I had to be associated before running
wpa_supplicant but it sounds like you are saying otherwise, so I'll
try that tonight and then submit my findings in a bug.   If something
I've said sounds completely wrong let me know.


Thanks,
John
