wpa_supplicant -dd -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -ira0 -Dwext
 
would work flawlessly on FC7
 
On F11, I get this:

The wpa supplicant completely stops scanning. I am puzzled why it works on FC7
butnot on F11 (same ra driver - albeit, recompiles for F11), and same 
wpa_supplicant.conf file.
 
The wpa_supplicant.conf file contains:
 
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
# ap_scan=1
ap_scan=2
network={
        bssid=00:D5:C2:51:F3:C4
        ssid="MyHiddenSSID"
        mode=MANAGED
        proto=WPA2
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=TKIP
        group=TKIP
        scan_ssid=1 # only needed if your access point uses a hidden ssid
        psk="GoesWithoutSayingThatSomeThingsAreBetterLeftUnsaid"
}
 
I set scan_ssid=1 because my router does not broadcast the ssid.
