Two updates. First, it looks like this is definitely a driver issue, as I 
dug out my old ath pccard, and it works fine with the same 
wpa_supplicant.conf file. Second, the latest sources definitely improved the 
situation. The card now associates with the AP, and wpa_supplicant says:

WPA: Key negotiation completed with 00:80:c8:1b:28:43 [PTK=TKIP 
GTK=TKIP]

However, the TKIP lines never show up when I do an ifconfig, and the 
interface doesn't seem to be passing packets as dhcp never sees any offers.

New log is at http://people.freebsd.org/~dougb/wpa2.log

hth,
