After having another day to look at this, I've finally tracked the problem down.

I have my router (wrt54g running openwrt with the nas linksys binary) set to use
either wpa or wpa2.  Turns out that wpa_supplicant 0.4.5 is unable to
authenticate in wpa mode when my router is set to wpa or wpa2.  But, if I set
wpa_supplicant to use wpa2, it works.

Also, if I set my router to use only wpa, and then set wpa_supplicant to use
wpa, it works.

So, the problem is with wpa_supplicant failing to authenticate with wpa when the
router is set to wpa or wpa2.  Here's the error message I get when running in
debug mode:

could not parse WPA/RSN IE
