I can't test that, right now (I left my freerunner dangling in a bus in 
Vietnam for openstreetmapping-purposes, while I got out. Luckily the driver 
noticed it, and now it's waiting for me some 200 km south of Ho Chi Minh 
City), BUT on my laptop wpasupplicant ceased working after an upgrade a while 
back. 

After a wired dist-upgrade during the holiday I WPA was available once again. 
The laptop runs Sid, and maybe it was just unable to connect to new networks 
since at home I did not notice the problem.

I have never been fluent with wpasupplicant; wpa_cli would see the networks, 
and seemingly connect, but than just hang (maybe due to lack of my knowledge). 
Since I have not been able to do regular updates, I can't say which packages 
got updated to break or make wpasupplicant.

Sorry not to be of any more help..
