I would like to use a tool like WPA Supplicant instead so I can have a more
dynamic configuration.
I've tried to setup WPA supplicant but haven't been able to get it to work.
Probably not what you wanted to hear, but I had the exact
same problem with the Dell bcm-based adapter in my Inspiron
laptop. It would work fine for open wireless and
WEP-secured wireless, but wouldn't associated with a
WPA-secured access point.
Eventually I spent about $30 to purchase an iwl3945
replacement from Dell, which worked fine, and never looked back.
