I will guess you are using either a 3CRSHPW_96 or 3CRWE62092B 802.11b device here. > The access point I am trying to connect to only allows WPA2-encrypted > connections. Despite the loading of WPA-capable firmware, the atmel_cs driver does not support Wi-Fi Protected Access, as indicated by the "Driver does not support WPA" message from wpa_supplicant. > I also tried to use the atmel driver explicitely [...] > wpa_supplicant -D atmel -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -i eth1 > -dd. The atmel wpa_supplicant driver backend was only usable with the obsolete atmelwlandriver, not atmel_cs. Building of this backend was disabled in Debian's wpasupplicant package at version 0.6.10-1. Consider using a different device (your laptop has a CardBus slot) with a WPA-capable driver available; any 802.11g device supported by an in-tree driver would provide your necessary support. Note that use of NDISwrapper as a workaround is not possible, as 16-bit PCMCIA devices are not supported.
