I have a Gentoo router running madwifi-ng and hostpad, and 2 Gentoo laptops running wicd. One laptop uses the in-kernel rt73 wireless driver, and the other uses the in-kernel ath5k wireless driver. All run 2.6.28-hardened-r9. If hostpad is configured for WPA or even CCMP WPA, the laptops can connect. If I switch it to WPA2, wicd correctly identifies the AP as WPA2, but can not connect. I get this in dmesg over and over (I've removed the MAC address): wlan0: authenticate with AP wlan0: authenticated wlan0: associate with AP wlan0: RX AssocResp from wlan0: associated wlan0: disassociating by local choice (reason=17). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. switch Gentoo router to WPA2 2. try to connect 3. Actual Results: failure to connect Expected Results: connection

It's not clear what are you talking about. What kernel + driver produces that error? On what system? Have you tried to connect without wicd (wpa_supplicant only)? Also please try with newer kernels (I'd suggested 2.6.31.2 to be released tomorrow). reason=17 is quite weird as I don't see that anything in linux 2.6.31 to drop this reason... But probably I miss something.
I have exactly the same problem. Solution: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf wme_enabled=0
Madwifi has been masked as it has been replaced by ath5k/ath9k upstream for years now. Please migrate to a maintained driver.
