Well, I know the problem now. The wi driver doesn't support WPA, even though the firmware on the card in question (and probably a few other prism based cards) does support WPA. I found a thread in the FreeBSD-Stable mailing list from just a few days ago that clarifies this. 

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=632961+0+archive/2005/freebsd-stable/20051218.freebsd-stable

As the second link indicates, it doesn't look like Sam has the time or energy to resolve the situation, seems like it's back to WeP for me.... 

I should have paid closer attention to the capabilities that the driver was reporting instead of assuming that because the card supported it... well live and learn. 

Thanks

D
