Hi,
as you have mentioned, as long as you do not see the line starting with
'Extra:wpa_ie=' in the output of the 'iwlist scanning' command, you will
be unable to connect to this access point with WPA.
You are the first user which have reported this problem so far. Can you
try with different versions of the Windows XP driver to see if there is
a difference?
Regards,
Jonathan
