Cannot Start wpa_supplicant in Fedora Core 6

[Jeffrey D. Yuille]

Hello,

     I am using an Atheros-based card in Fedora Core 6 with WPA2 
encryption.  However, I am not getting any connectivity because I am not 
able to start the wpa_supplicant service in 
"System-Administration-Server Settings-Services".  When I press the 
start button, it tries to start the service but nothing happens.  Has 
anyone had this problem.  Is this a bug?  How can I resolve this 
problem?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
