fried, that's great.
Quite a few people have contacted me about similar problems. To help me answer such questions, can you please confirm that you included "CCMP" in your wpa_supplicant.conf, and did you change anything else in this file?

Also, can you please edit your first post so that the title includes "Solved".

this is my wpa_supplicant.conf:

Code: Select all

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1 

network={
	ssid="mylan"
	proto=WPA
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
      pairwise= TKIP
     group=TKIP
	psk="testtest"
	priority=2 
}

-i removed CCMP because both my router menu and ubuntu networkmanager showed they were using TKIP. However, it also works with

Code: Select all

    pairwise=CCMP TKIP
    group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40

and this is the line i use for starting it up:

Code: Select all

wpa_supplicant -i eth1 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -w -B

i just rebooted and started wpa_supplicant with this .conf:

Code: Select all

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
	ssid="mylan"
	psk="testtest"
}

and it works as well

Thanks.
Since your configuration looks quite "standard" I think that 90% of the solution was simply the addition of the michael_mic module.
