Debian Testing, with wpa_supplicant installed. Is it possible that it's just
not supported by the card? I saw some argument about that when searching, but
the output from hwinfo seemed to show support for wpa:

2.462 2.467 2.472 WLAN encryption modes: WEP40 WEP104 TKIP CCMP
  WLAN authentication modes: open sharedkey wpa-psk wpa-eap
