[pkg-wpa-devel] Can't get hostap & wpasupplicant working on Thinkpad A31p with Prism 2.5 Wifi

Hi,

I read your thread on hostap mailing list with interest. It seems you have 
difficulties with managed mode. Lets debug it.

Typo ^^, should be wpa-ssid (missing s).

Please fix/check typo, run ifup --verbose with above configuration at your own 
leisure.

I'll be overseas by the end of the week, so reply soon, or not for a month or
