It looks like there might be some error in the config with the device
setting?
I'm using NetworkManager here, and the wpa_supplicant service is
disabled (via chkconfig). NM handles starting it when needed. I
connect to my home network using WPA2 and it's worked wonderfully for
a long time.
Are you using NM or the older network service (and
system-config-network)?
