Which image are you using? WPA might require some extra crypto modules
compared to non-WPA setups, on an hardware-dependent fashion.

I experienced this myself, this led to the addition of some modules to
the linux crypto-modules udeb, which is referenced as:

  "linux → udeb: Add ccm, ctr to crypto-modules (#761902)."

in the Jessie Beta 2 announce[1].

If you're installing using Jessie Beta 2 or newer, you might need some
extra modules as well.
