trying to configure WPA / [AirConn] INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01) / TravelMate 2200

Hi there I am trying to configure my network with WPA; but I am not
sure I understand what I did wrong:


$ sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ioctl[SIOCSIWPMKSA]: Invalid argument

^CCTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING - signal 2 received

Where:

$ cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

ap_scan=1

network={
	ssid="freebox_UCZIDS"
	scan_ssid=1
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
	#psk="<removed>"
	psk=<removed>
	priority=5
}


And hardware seems ok, except I do not understand why it says hardware
encryption is off:
