I have a PCMCIA 3COM 3CRPAG175 which is listed as supported by madwifi.
I am using wpa_supplicant 0.3.9 as the newer version (0.4.8) built for my distro (slax) does not have madwifi support.
Here's my wpa_supplicant.conf (I have also tried with ap_scan = 0 and 1, and without that option)
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="JODI";
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
group=TKIP
psk=";pass*phrase~Here";
}
Here is how I'm running wpa_supplicant, I have also tried -Dwext and using -B rather than -dd
wpa_supplicant -dd -i ath0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dmadwifi
Finally here's a chunk of the log that is returned
