I've had similar issues with a linksys wpc11, which uses the wi driver.  
There may be further issues with that card which prevent it being a 
valid argument for this issue.  The network I'm connecting to also does 
not support 108mbit; it only supports 802.11b & g.  The reason for the 
particular card was that I could pick one up easily, that was listed in 
the freebsd hardware support list.

I can also confirm that this card & that wpa_supplicant file do work 
fine under windows XP (I dual boot).

Sam Leffer suggested I provide some further information - a 802.11 dump 
and ifconfig status - and I will make that available briefly.

Thanks for confirming that I'm not alone here.
