Answering my own message. By looking at the source code I get that state 
6 is "GROUP_HANDSHAKE", and state 7 is "COMPLETED" (from 
wpa_supplicant_state_txt() in wpa_supplicant.c). So for some reason a 
handshake is initiated each second second. But why?

I forgot to mention before; this is a fully updated Fedora 9 
installation on a Dell XPS M1330, with a Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 
4965 card using the iwl4965 kernel module, and an old 3Com 3CRWE454G72 
access point set up to use WPA and a hidden SSID. Signal strength is 
excellent and speed is 54 Mbps.

I have also noticed the following line from time to time in the logs, at 
the moment I have no idea what this means...:
Aug 24 16:55:07 localhost kernel: iwl4965: index 255 not used in uCode 
key table.

Any ideas on why this is happening?

Regards,
Lars
