[driverloader] Fails to report wpa_ie causing wpa to abort

[Lars B. Termansen]

Driverloader fails to report the variable 
extra:wpa_ie
when scanning using iwlist on my desktop computer, this in turn forces 
wpa_supplicant to abort since the wpa_ie_len is zero and there is no WPA/RSN 
IE. 

The desktop(Saruman) computer running with driverloader reports the following:

My router is a D-Link DI-514 with firmware 1.03 also with WPA support.
The router is set to WPA-PSK encryption and Windows XP connects flawlessly on 
my laptop. Booting Linux on my Laptop and running iwlist I get the following:
[root at klax]# iwlist ath0 scanning

My adapter is D-Link DWL-520+, with the latest driver from D-Link, version 
3.07 with WPA support as reported by driverloader:

[root at Saruman ~]# cat /proc/driver/driverloader/eth1/capabilities
WPA, TKIP, WEP128, WEP64

(note: the driver for that adapter on Linuxant's website is version 3.03 
without wpa support)

Im using driverloader version 2.28 on Mandrive Linux LE 2005.

And the wpa_supplicant reports this:

My wpa_supplicant configuration is, where the key is generated using 
wpa_passphrase
network={
    ssid="Procyon"
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    psk=***Removed***
    proto=WPA
    scan_ssid=1
}

Hope anyone can help
