Well, I tried it with a d-link DI-524 and a LinkSys WRT54G (With orig software
and dd-wrt).
I don't see an option to set only wpa/wpa2 or anything else.

So, seeing this, and not your option, how can we achieve this goal, to have
wpa_supplicant + madwifi running out of the box?

Using another card, with ndiswrapper this works btw out of the box.

I think using a router and using some software only setting on the router is no
solution.
