Recently had Ubuntu on my laptop and I'm having a big headache trying to get WPA-PSK working.
Open/WEP works fine as it is already supported in Ubuntu but I can't seem to get wpa_supplicant working.
It clearly detects my router but it doesn't recognize it as WPA-PSK enabled (other laptops on Windows can connect fine, as do my laptop when its on XP)

The rest of the output is below.
Here's from my thread in linuxquestions.org :
I've tried ndiswrapper with wpa_supplicant and lots more (I can't remember so feel free to suggest again) and currently wpa_supplicant with the native ipw2100 driver seemed to work.
Here's the output when I run wpa_supplicant -ieth1 -dd -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dipw2100 as root
