First you need a card with WEXT-compliant WPA support.  That means using
the 'wext' driver of wpa_supplicant.  Second, even if that works, the
card's driver needs to set the enc_capa field for it's iw_range
structure, which at least ipw does right now.  The other drivers
in-kernel don't actually support WPA yet.
