Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.6.10-2

Hi, this is what I get after few seconds:

# wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Trying to associate with myapmac (SSID='myssid' freq=2412 MHz)
[   69.506953] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready
[   69.508486] cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: NA
Associated with myapmac
[   70.504648] padlock: VIA PadLock not detected.
WPA: Key negotiation completed with myapmac [PTK=CCMP GTK=CCMP]
CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to myapmac completed (auth) [id=0 id_str=]
CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys

It does work for just few seconds, then it disconnects... I created
wpa_supplicant.conf with
wpa_passphrase myssid mypassphrase > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
and it's the same config I use on gentoo.

I compiled wpa_supplicant 0.7.2 from source, but nothing changed.
I also upgraded from 2.6.32 (unstable) to 2.6.35 (experimental):
nothing changed.

Networkmanager is not installed. I tried with networkmanager too but
it does not work (it never gets 'active').
I tried with two aps with both wpa2 and wpa.

If I plug the wifi card on a laptop with gentoo it works flawlessly.

Thanks for letting me know.

The only thing I can imagine which would be 'solved' by a 
reinstallation (using the same package versions) would be random 
garbage in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, which might 
have happened in the past when udev's network rule generator got 
confused (driver rename of something similar).
