I'm seeing:
Capabilities: [140] Virtual Channel <?>
in you're post, leading me to believe, you're
missing a capability?
from what I understand, if you're using
NetworkManager you need to
adduser "name" netdev
then have NetworkManager load
wpa_supplicant at the right time.
under the right circumstances..
