Wifi0 is most likely part of Madwifi-NG

Madwifi-NG changes how just about everything works, including wpa.

You MUST have a wpa-supplicant compiled against the madwifi-ng source to
be able to use it.  Look at the madwifi site for howtos for building
your own wpa-supplicant.

FC should have done this already.  Sounds like they didn't.
