I realize this is mailing list is meant for developers and reporting bugs, but I couldn't find any other mailing lists for wpa on linux. If anyone can point me to a more appropriate place to seek help I would be grateful. 
If you can help me directly even better:
I've read the documentation in the Debian wiki for WPA, and the man pages for wpa_supplicant,  and have spent many hours trawling the internet, but still can't get it to work for me.
I have a Gateway laptop with built-in Intel pro wireless 3945abg, running Debian Etch. WEP encryption works fine, and my router supports WPA/WPA2. I set up everything according to the man pages of wpa_supplicant, and made sure that the security key on the router matches the one specified in /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, and have tried both ascii and hexadecimal keys.
I run this command: wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -ieth2 -Dwext -d
and get this output:

I'm not an expert in wireless networking, so it's probably something simple.
Can anyone help?

Thanks, 
Joe.
