Sigh...

I know some people have got ipw2100's working on WPA, but mine
(Thinkpad r50p) just doesn't want to work.

I'm running Debian. Unstable. I have the latest debian wpa_supplicant
package, (Generic) kernel 2.6.17.9, and I just can't get past
wpa_supplicant telling me over & over again that some IOCTL isn't
supported & it scans & trys to associate again.

I know the AP is fine... Because everything else can connect except my
Linux laptop... Argh!!

I've tried the kernel generic ipw2100 module, v1.1.3 module and v1.2.1
that I just downloaded... Always the same.

(Yes I know the password is in there. I'll change it, but I'd rather
drag the whole damn lot behind the car & then shoot it!)

iwconfig says

lo        Interface doesn't support scanning.
