I have a little more information on what is happening. In IEEE Std 802.11i-2004, which defines the WPA protocol, Figure 11a shows the sequence of exchanges needed to associate. Both bcm43xx-softmac and ndiswrapper go through the "Open System Authentication" process. Where they seem to diverge is in the STA's "Association Request (Security Parameters)" step. With ndiswrapper, the AP responds with a WPA EAPOL-Key message; whereas with softmac, the AP sends back the "invalid pairwise cipher message" and rejects the association.
Can anyone point to a reference that states what the content of the Association Request should be to get the AP to respond with the EAPOL-Key message? Unfortunately, I have no possibility of implementing a sniffer to see what a "correct" message contains.
