I use wpa_supplicant with madwifi and everything works perfectly with one strange exception. At boot time, when net.ath0 tries to start, it complains that the address is still in use and doesn't start! I look at the process list and find wpa_supplicant is always running when I start. Interesting, also, is the fact that it is always running with the same pid (5872). I can stop the process and net.ath0 starts perfectly.
I've checked over the configuration and all is well, and I've looked over the logs and nothing seems askew. Hell, I can't even find the error in the logs... This means, unfortunately, that I have nothing to present in the way of an error... I do remember that the error at boot has something to do with wpa_ctrl. I hope you fine fellows can piece something together with this or give me some documentation I might read. Thanks.
