I'm also having trouble getting wpa to work with madwifi.  Here's a thread that
describes the problem:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.madwifi.user/7657

I had no troubles in hoary but when I upgraded to breezy, my wireless stopped
working.

I tried recompiling wpa_supplicant and that did not solve the problem.  I tried
using breezy's wpa_supplicant with hoary's kernel, and that didn't work as well.

I tried compiling madwifi from cvs but I was getting errors when inserting the
modules:

insmod: error inserting 'ath_hal.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module

This happens when I compile the cvs madwifi with either gcc-3.4 or gcc-4.0

I tried compiling from the restricted source (apt-get source linux-restrict...)
and also no luck. (Can't build/find //arch/Makefile)

I've compiled madwifi on other distros without any problems, I'm not sure what
the deal is.

Anyway, I wanted to confirm the above link of needing to compile the madwifi and
wpa_supplicant over again, but failed to build the modules.

But, I think that the above info should be enough to say that wpa_supplicant and
madwifi and closely knit, and maybe they just need to be recompiled.

Hope this helps.
