Sorry if it's obvious, but please make sure you don't have another
wpa_supplicant running and there is no other software that tries to
control the interface.

If you have NetworkManager, the device in question should be unmanaged.
This could be done by adding this
to /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf:

[main]
plugins=keyfile

[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_1f_11_01_06_55

If the "plugins" line exists, "keyfile" should be added, separated by
comma from the previous word.  The MAC address must be lowercase.
Entries on the unmanaged-devices line are separated by semicolons.

Use "cnetworkmanager -d" to make sure the device is unmanaged (install
cnetworkmanager if needed).  You may need to restart NetworkManager or
even reboot after changing the configuration.

Perhaps we need it in the FAQ somewhere.
