Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.6.6-1
Severity: normal


When I select the default entry, wpa_supplicant happily connects to an open
network and gets an IP adderess.

When I select the entry for encrypted network wpa_supplicant
authenticates .. and then autenticates again, and again.

According to server logs it authenticates successfully but it never
finishes the connection to he point where it  would be usable, and
restarts authentication instead.

I cannot connect with either wpa_gui, wpa_cli or networ-manager-gnome.

network-manager-kde does not offer the option to cennect to a wireless
network in any visible place.

Fails the same way with the 6.4 package.
