[driverloader] can't get wpa_supplicant to authenticate TKIP

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

for DriverLoader, you should compile the wpa_supplicant package with the 
CONFIG_DRIVER_HOSTAP option. Did you tried with ESSID broadcasting enabled?

If you are not already doing so, please try with the version of the 
wpa_supplicant package that you can download at the bottom of our 
DriverLoader download page at :

I've successfully loaded the linksys drivers with driverloader, and when I turn off authentication in the AP I connect fine (using SSID broadcast both on and off).  I build wpa_supplicant with the default .config.  My wpa_supplicant.conf contains:
