wireless problems with wpa

[Lubos Vrbka <lists@vrbka.net>]

hi guys,

i have problems with the wireless setup on my debian box. the card is 
intel pro wireless 3945. i have all necessary packages installed from 
debian repositories... in some wireless networks it works fine. the card 
is also fine - i tested it also from windows (it's dualboot machine).

i want to connect to my wpa-secured network. i used the following setup:

i'm getting the following:

# iwconfig eth2 essid "xxxxxxxx"
# wpa_supplicant -ieth2 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: Operation not supported
Failed to set encryption.
ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: Operation not supported

Trying to associate with 00:18:39:59:1f:7b (SSID='xxxxxxxx' freq=0 MHz)
ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: Operation not supported
Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out.

any hints how to get this working?

thanks in advance for your help. best regards,
