Hello,

I have problems getting the ipw(4) wireless interface on my TP X31 to work.
I'm running -Current cvsupped and built from about 2 hours ago (i have this
 problem from long time, but hadn't the time to report it.)
The firmware is the latest from the ports.
When using exactly the same wpa_supplicant config with different wireless card 
(ralink) i can authentitace to a LinkSys WPA54G access point.
But it never works for ipw.
One thing that i discovered is that when i do ifconfig ipw0 scan
there is always one 'fake network' without SSID and with zero macaddr :

# ifconfig ipw0 scan
SSID           BSSID                      CHAN      RATE   S:N     INT CAPS
                  00:00:00:00:00:00   11          0M     0:0        0
office.ss      00:0f:66:11:13:1e   11         54M    29:0  100  EP WPA  

This looks really odd, and i can't reproduce it with other wlan cards.

wpa_supplicant.conf is :
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
eapol_version=1 or 2 (tried both of them)

network={
	ssid="office.ss"
	proto=WPA
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
	psk="xxxx"
}

network={
	ssid="totalterror-wlan"
	proto=WPA
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
	psk="yyyy"
}



Here is debug output from wpa_supplicant with if_ipw :

i cancelled it at this point, but it loops like this forever(or atleast couple
 of hours :) )


I will gladly provide more info if needed.
