 Hello everybody,
 I am Catalin from Romania and I'm here to ask you guys some help because
I heard that Seattlewireless kicks some serious wifi ass :)

 My setup goes like this:
 I want to connect my WRT54GL v1.1 router using client mode to an WPA
secured MAN network in my area using TKIP, EAP-PEAP, MSCHAPv2 with no
certificate. Im using openwrt on the router and I'm trying to connect
using wpa_supplicant with the default openwrt broadcom driver.

 launch line:
 wpa_supplicant -i eth1 -D broadcom -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -d

 wpa_supplicant.conf looks like this:

eapol_version=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
        ssid="AtlasTelecom"
        bssid=00:90:4B:CA:00:6D
        scan_ssid=1
        key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
        pairwise=TKIP
        group=TKIP
        eap=PEAP
        identity="xxx"
        password="xxxxxx"
        phase1="peaplabel=0 include_tls_length=1"
        phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
        priority=10
}

I made 00:90:4B:CA:00:6D the only usable AP because my parabolic antenna
is directioned to it and the other AP-s do not interest me.


the wpa_supplicant debug output is like this:

I'm new to the Wifi experience so I don't know how to interpret this
output. I can tell you that using the same wpa_supplicant.conf file I was
able to connect to the network from windowsXP but with an external NUB-362
usb adapter.
Is it possible that my broadcom adapter is not supporting the AP-s standards?
a lspci on the WRT54GL router says that the wifi is:

00:05.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g
Wireless LAN Controller

Please give me some help guys. I'm really desperate.
Thanx for your time.

Catalin
