I will guess you are using either a 3CRSHPW_96 or 3CRWE62092B 802.11b
device here.

Despite the loading of WPA-capable firmware, the atmel_cs driver does
not support Wi-Fi Protected Access, as indicated by the "Driver does not
support WPA" message from wpa_supplicant.

The atmel wpa_supplicant driver backend was only usable with the
obsolete atmelwlandriver, not atmel_cs. Building of this backend was
disabled in Debian's wpasupplicant package at version 0.6.10-1.
Consider using a different device (your laptop has a CardBus slot) with
a WPA-capable driver available; any 802.11g device supported by an
in-tree driver would provide your necessary support.
Note that use of NDISwrapper as a workaround is not possible, as 16-bit
PCMCIA devices are not supported.
