In case someone around cares or needs it, this is my working Debian configuration for wpa_supplicant 0.2.4 and ndiswrapper 0.9-pre1. First, wpa_supplicant.conf : ctrl_interface=3D/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=3D0 eapol_version=3D1 ap_scan=3D1 network=3D{ ssid=3D"mySSID" priority=3D5 proto=3DWPA key_mgmt=3DWPA-PSK pairwise=3DTKIP group=3DTKIP psk=3D"this is my very secret PSK" } For my AP only support WPA and is somehow broken, I have to force WPA/TKIP otherwise success is quite random. I noticed I have to force AP scanning in wpa_supplicant. Pre-configuring interface using wireless tools does not work most of the time. Then, my /etc/network/interfaces file entry for wlan0 : iface wlan0 inet dhcp pre-up ifconfig wlan0 up pre-up /usr/local/bin/wpa_supplicant -Dndiswrapper \ -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Bw || exit 0 down /usr/bin/killall wpa_supplicant It is important to up the interface before running wpa_supplicant, otherwize ifup script fails. Down statement is needed too, for wpa_supplicant will not die and next ifup will fail too.
