problems with wpa_supplicant using ipw2200

Hello. I'm new to Ubuntu. I have an HP dv1000
installed with Breezy and I'm having trouble getting
my wireless card working with WPA.

If there's anyone who has successfully done this, or
would be willing to look over my config and output,
and offer suggestions, I'd be grateful.

The laptop appears to have an ipw2200 card as eth1. My
wireless network is configured for WPA-PSK & AES. 

I downloaded and installed the wpa_supplicant package
and have the wpa_supplicant.conf file configured as
follows:
---------------------------------------------
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
        ssid="bastard_net"
        proto=WPA
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=CCMP
        group=CCMP
      
psk=d430996c495e2801a74b6ac1c232147203cc17a5c16b024c4239dfec9e8809a2
        priority=0
}
--------------------------------------------------

Here is what happens when I try to run wpa_supplicant:
