wpa_supplicant infinite scan

["elijah rutschman" <elijahr%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hello all,
I have installed NetBSD/hpcmips 4.0 onto my NEC MobilePro 780.  Installation
was a success, but I am having trouble with wpa_supplicant; it seems that
the AP scan either never starts, or just hangs once it begins.

my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:

network={
    ssid="MyAP"
    proto=WPA RSN # I tried each of these individually as well
    scan_ssid=0 # I have also tried 1, with no success.  my AP has SSID
broadcast enabled
    pairwise=TKIP CCMP # I tried each of these individually as well
    group=TKIP CCMP # I tried each of these individually as well
    mode=0 # I tried without this line
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    psk="mykey"
}

when I run:
wpa_supplicant -d -i wi0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, I get:
[...]
Adding interface wi0
State: DISCONNECTED -> SCANNING
Starting AP scan (broadcast SSID)
pcmcia1: card irq 3

and then the LED on the wireless card lights up and blinks, but nothing else
happens on the screen until I send an interrupt to quit.  I found a similar
reference from February in current-users,
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2008/02/12/msg000888.html.  I had
previously installed NetBSD 3.0 on the MobilePro, and wpa_supplicant worked
fine with the same card.  Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks,
Elijah
