I use in both cases the in-tree driver for ipw2200 and ieee80211. But 
finally, the problem might be caused by wpa_supplicant since now, it 
also fails frequently with the 2.6.21 kernel. It seems that when 
wpasupplicant starts, the ieee80211_crypt_tkip and michael_mic modules 
are not loaded immediately. But if I run wpa_cli -i eth1 reassociate, 
these modules are load immediately and association occurs instantly. So, 
I have add these 2 modules to the /etc/modules file but it doesn't solve 
the problem.

Thanks for your help,
