wenn if WPA_supplicant won't connect it may be because the program 
doesn't want the key in plaintext
try connecting via wpa_gui or use the tool for generating the password 
from the psk which was shipped with wpa_supplicant
(i personally use gentoo amd64 and use it with wpa2 at home with ccmp (i 
think) and with some fancy corporate wpa-stuff at the university)
equery f wpa_supplicant under gentoo shows all files
