I can't speak for USB WLAN but setting up wpasupplicant was really
straightforward in my machine with an Intel ipw2100.
I didn't touch the function.sh and ifupdown.sh scipts in
/etc/wpa_supplicant but the wpa_psk.conf. It looks like that:

network={
         ssid="MYSSID"
         scan_ssid=1
         key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
         psk="MYPW"
        }

I have the following in my /etc/interfaces
# WLAN
        iface eth2 inet dhcp
        wpa-driver wext
        wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_psk.conf
        auto eth2

and it works fine.
