wpa_supplicant connects just fine w/o specifying -Dwext.  The only
effect -Dwext has on wpa_supplicant is that it doesn't run
"SIOCGIWSCAN".  (logs attached)

wpa_supplicant seems to call "SIOCSIWAUTH" whether launched manually or
by NM.  However, it's only in the case with NM that association
ultimately fails and the driver gets into a flaky state.  This may be
due to the "AP_SCAN 2" step.  (see previous email with NM log)

I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to make this work, or whether
NM or the driver need modification.


Best,
