wpa_supplicant failes after following tutorial by Xploitz

[schreibmaschine]

Hi,

i hope someone can help me with a crazy wpa_supplicant problem.
Couldn't find any help after hours of searching the web.

I try to connect to my network following the Tutorial "Wpa, TKIP". I have an Intel 4965 NIC.
I get the following error: (The interface "wlan0" is the right one)

root@slax:~# wpa_supplicant -w -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 5 value 0x1 - Trying to associate with SSID 'whiskey-lima-alpha-november'
ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported

ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 5 value 0x0 - ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 -

Using Backtrack I get exactly the same.


But NOW THE "FUNNY" THING:

Using wlassistant on Backtrack I first can't connect... but after switching wireless off and again on it works!!
Unfortunately that doesn't work using my USB-Slax. I compiled wlassistant und wpa_supplicant from the sources and followed the instructions for wpa_supplicant, also replaced the *.conf file as described in the tutorial and changed the ESSID and the key. I'm sure I did everything exactly the same as in the tutorial.

WHAT IS DIFFERENT IN BACKTRACK?!
(using wlassistant I even copied all the files, checked the permissions...)

Could someone help me?!

What is the adapter you are using?
