[pkg-wpa-devel] Can't connect to my AP in "managed mode"

Hi again,

I've tried "managed mode" without success. Using the wpa_supplicant.conf below 
I can easily connect to my AP with "user provided configuration" or the 
daemon but not in "managed mode". What's wrong?

wpa_supplicant.conf
============

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wpasupplicant
update_config=1
network={
        bssid=00:01:02:03:04 # I've got the real bssid here
        ssid="my-access-point at my-network"
        proto=WPA
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        psk="Iwonttellyou" # I'm actually using a better one
        }

Here's what I've tried:

/etc/network/interfaces
==============

iface wlan inet dhcp
        wpa-driver wext
        wpa-ssid "my-access-point at my-network" # with or without " "
#     wpa-bssid 00:01:02:03:04 # I've got the real bssid here
        wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
# Neither wpa-passphrase nor wpa-psk work:
        wpa-passphrase "Iwonttellyou" # with or without " "
#	wpa-psk "Iwonttellyou" # with or without " "
        wpa-proto WPA


Regards,

Felix
