iwi, hidden SSID and wpa_supplicant problem

Hi.

I have an Asus V6V (V6800) laptop with Intel wireless adapter:
iwi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG

and FreeBSD installed:

defanbook# uname -v
FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE #3: Mon Oct  9 17:40:59 UTC 2006

I want to connect to access point (cisco 350) with
hidden (not broadcasted) SSID using WPA/TKIP authentication
but still got no success.

Here is my wpa_supplicant.conf:

=======================
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
        ssid="MY-SSID"
        scan_ssid=1
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        proto=WPA
        pairwise=TKIP
        group=TKIP
        psk="PASSPHRASE"
        phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}
=======================

Here is wpa_supplicant output:

As we can see, it just repeats specific and broadcast SSID scan
in cycle, but always says "No suitable AP found" and "SSID mismatch".
While this process is running I can see more and more
"Number of frames with a bad CRC receive" with the iwicontrol utility.

On another FreeBSD box with 6.1-release and same version of wpa_supplicant,
but with another USB wireless device (ural) all works fine.

Wireless connection in winxp on this laptop works fine too.

Any ideas?
