Description of problem:

WPA association fails between ipw2200 card and D-Link DSL-G604T AP
 after updating from Torvalds kernel 2.6.18-git8 to 2.6.18-git9.

2.6.18-git9 Torvalds kernels introduce wireless extensions v21,
 which are already known to break wireless-tools-28.0.pre13.5.1
 as per Jean Tourrhiles comments in this lkml thread:

http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0609.3/2148.html

 as it turns out from further tests, updating wireless-tools to
 Jean's latest tarball (wireless_tools.29.pre10.tar.gz) is not
 enough; wpa_supplicant is in fact an user of wireless extensions
 and needs to be built from the 0.4.9 sources to make WPA
 association work again with 2.6.18-git9 and further.
 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

wpa_supplicant-0.4.8-10.fc5

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:

1. boot a 2.6.18-git9 kernel
2. ifup eth1
3. wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -ieth1 -c etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
  
Actual results:

ip a reports eth1 as NO-CARRIER and pinging the AP doesn't work

Expected results:

networking functionality should be available
