i am using wpa_supplicant on etch with the same card and it works fine 
on a linksys router.

i have the exactly opposite experience - it didnt' work with WEP but 
works fine with WPA.

the relevant part of my /etc/network/interfaces reads as follows:

allow-hotplug eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp
	wpa-ssid SSIDNAME
	wpa-psk xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (the passphrase 'hash')
	wpa-driver wext


that's actually all and it works fine for me without any additional 
parameters.

regards,
