I'm having some problems getting wpa_supplicant to work on gentoo-current. I'm not quite sure what the problem is. It just doesnt seem to want to authenticate. The interface "ath0" appears in ifconfig and I installed the latest madwifi-ng drivers.

Some information about how my router is set up.
Code:
Router Information
Manufacturer: Belkin
Allowed Client type: WPA/WPA2
Authentication: Preshared key
Encryption technique: AES
The wireless card I'm using is the one that comes with the 13inch apple macbook, not sure what it is, the chipset is Atheros though.


here is my /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Code:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
ssid="burk"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
