Problems with ipw3945 & wpa_supplicant (Thinkpad z61m - 9450-HAG)

Has anyone had wpa_supplicant working with an ipw3945 card and WPA encryption?

I have a thinkpad z61m, core2Duo 2GB memory. WIth ipw3945 wireless. The 
ipw3945 software is version 1.1.3 and I'm running vanilla kernel 2.6.19.1, on 
a gentoo amd64 build.

With no encryption I can connect to my access point (A linksys 54g - also my 
neighbours who runs without encryption for some reason :), but if I enable 
WPA with ether AES or TKIP with a shared key, then wpa_supplicant just sits & 
spins forever, seeming to fail the authuentication... retrying, failing, 
retrying etc. The access point is able to be used from other machines 
(Windoze & Linux, e.g. z60m and a nokia 770) with WPA without any problems 
more than the normal ones.

The only other access point i really have to test the ipw3945 against with 
encryption also fails... But it doesn't work with the Nokia 770 either, so I 
blame the cisco stuff they have running on it (It require specific cisco 
software versions even on the windoze boxes, so I'm not hopeful there).

So... The wpa_supplicant config file just has

network={
    ssid="MYSSID"
    proto=WPA
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
#    pairwise=TKIP
#    group=TKIP
    psk="PSKPassword"
    priority=2
}

 and version is

thunderstruck ~ # wpa_supplicant -v
wpa_supplicant v0.5.7

in it... It can see the access point... Sigh...

Any ideas?
