I did. Ultimately. And it sped up the boot process since the system
didn't stall at the networking part while supplicant failed and
timed-out. After booting, if I killed supplicant (as root), then
manually called it as root, supplicant would authorized and connect
just fine. So, I gave up on trying to get wireless to come up at boot
and just reconfigured back to "allow-hotplug", left the dongle
unplugged, booted, then plugged it in and it connected. I tried a dozen
variations after that with cold starts in between, but that's the only
one that worked.
Thanks for your advice.
