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/
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/
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?

this bug is likely to be a duplicate to bug #207446.
Since you indicate that your results depend on the exact kernel version, I'm reassigning this bug to the kernel.
