What details more i could provide, could you clarify please?
What distro do you use? How do you control the wifi? Do you use
NetworkManager, or what? If you use wicd, then that is likely the
problem!
These are the kinds of details that should have been in your first
message.
You need to get the compat-wireless source from
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download, and build it on your
system.
In previous message i clarified that the distro uses NetworkManager
NetworkManager (and networkmanager calls wpa_supplicant through dbus).
The distro i use is Mageia, but when i run Ubuntu live cd i found the
same exact problem.
For what i see compat-wireless file arepart of the kernel, and the
distro already provides the latest kernel available thats version
3.3.3.
I do not like your tone!! If you want help, please watch what you say.
Hu?
I dont understand why your saying this, seams your in a bad mood but
thats certainly not my fault...
For your information, the latest compat-wireless has the wireless code that
will be in kernel 3.5. That is the reason I want you to try it.
Anyway in the website you pointed i see this to download:
http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
but for what i read there this isnt for kernel-2.6 series?
Anyway i have found this:
http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
but isnt possible to build, see the output (build against kernel-3.3.4):

Get
http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2012-04-26.tar.bz2.
That is the "bleeding-edge" version. As I said in the previous message, it will
build on your kernel!
