Howdy,

I just bought a new linksys WRT54G broadband router and I want to enable 
WPA-PSK on it, and my freebsd -current laptop. I got the configuration 
working in Windows with the same machine, then booted current and added the 
following to my kernel config. The kernel sources are from 25 May, I will 
try updating next.

device          wlan                    #802.11 support
device          wlan_wep                #802.11 WEP support
device          wlan_ccmp               #802.11 CCMP support
device          wlan_tkip               #802.11 TKIP support
device          wlan_xauth              #802.11 external authenticator

The NDIS driver works great for my Dell TrueMobile 1400 Dual Band WLAN 
Mini-PCI Card, and I had static WEP working with it previously as well. 
After rebooting with the new kernel and rebuilding my NDIS module, I 
compiled ports/security/wpa_supplicant (the latest version).

On my linksys I have it set up for WPA-PSK with TKIP. I also tried AES, no 
luck. My wpa_supplicant.conf file looks like this (mostly just the defaults):

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
         ssid="myssid"
         proto=WPA
         key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
         pairwise=CCMP TKIP
         group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
         psk="mypass"
         priority=2
}

Changing the eapol_version didn't have any effect. There is a log of what's 
happening at http://people.freebsd.org/~dougb/wpa.log. If there is anything 
else I can do to help debug this, let me know.

Doug
