Hi,

I'm a bit of a wireless newbie. I'm trying to connect my tnet1130 PCI
wifi card (104c:9066) with the ndiswrapper to a Asus WL-500GP access point.

I've got the ndiswrapper going, using Debian Etch, kernel 2.6.18-5-686,
and building the ndiswrapper-modules-2.6.18-5-686 package, version
1.28-1+2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch4.

I'm testing wpa_supplicant with a config file:
~$ cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/test.conf
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
network={
    ssid="goose"
    scan_ssid=1
    proto=WPA
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    psk="test1232"
}

However it seems to repeatedly disconnect after it succeeds associating,
where it says 'CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED':

~$ sudo wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/test.conf -i wlan0 -D wext  -d

I don't really know how to debug this further. Has anyone got any pointers?
