So, I tried with a newer version of wpa_supplicant (0.6.0 instead of
0.5.8) and it doesn't work better. I also tried with the latest
ieee80211 drivers (1.2.18) but that doesn't work too. I have tried WPA
with TKIP and AES encryption and I could never connect to my router.
However it works in unencrypted mode. Furthermore, there are well
differences between 2.6.22.14 and 2.6.23.9 in the ipw2200 driver. The
diff files are attached to this mail.
As you suggested, I will open a bug on bughost.org.
