First of all, I haven't really been able to find a good reference for how to
set up wireless networking and wpasupplicant on Debian, so if there's
something obvious out there that I've missed, I would be glad for pointers.

So on to the meat: I have been unable to get a consistently working
configuration for my ipw2200 card, on Debian sid running 2.6.18. I only have
one wireless network I ever want to connect to, so my current setup
in /etc/network/interfaces is:
...
auto eth0 eth1 eth2
mapping eth0 eth1 eth2
script /root/get-mac-address.sh
map 00:03:0D:21:5C:2E ethernet
map 00-03-0D-00-25-51-D8-36-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 ieee
map 00:0E:35:AF:45:A6 wireless
...
iface ethernet inet dhcp
...
iface ieee inet manual
...
iface wireless inet dhcp
wpa-ap-scan 1
wpa-scan-ssid 1
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid linksys_***
wpa-psk ***
Strangely, this occasionally works, but usually I get a failure to connect.
So, what's wrong with this setup, and what do I need to do to get it working
consistently?
Please reply to me directly, as I'm not subscribed to the list.

Isn't wpasupplicant package required? Have you read the links included above?
