Title:
wpasupplicant associates only in precise conditions

Bug description:
This is a very weird bug. I'm using Ubuntu Hardy with a NETGEAR
WG311v2 wifi card (Ndiswrapper driver). I try to connect to the AP
through the command line because I wasn't able to make it work with
network-manager, wicd or the GNOME network tool: connection was
endless or timed-out.
With kernel 2.6.24-16, my wifi card only associates with the AP by the
command line "sudo wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
-d", but it doesn't with "sudo wpa_supplicant -iwlan0
-c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf" or "sudo wpa_supplicant -iwlan0
-c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd".
With kernel 2.6.24-18, it doesn't associates at all.
Thus, I'm suspecting wpasupplicant to connect to my AP too quickly (or
slowly) when it fails, because association works only with a precise
kernel version and a precise debugging level.
I'm using the same wpa_supplicant.conf template as provided in
/usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/examples/wpa-psk-tkip.conf.
Is this bug really related to wpasupplicant? Or is it ndiswrapper's
kernel module? Is there a way to introduce a waiting time during the
association process?
