I also upgraded from gutsy and wpa_suplicant stopped working. Booting the gutsy kernel (2.6.22-14-generic) fixes the problem. (I'm using 32bit intel before you ask!). This is with ipw3945.

I have the same config as I was using with gutsy, which I manually set up because I couldn't get it working with the gui tools in gutsy. In /etc/network/interfaces I have:

 iface eth1 inet static
 address 192.168.1.8
 netmask 255.255.255.0
 gateway 192.168.1.1
 wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
 wpa-driver wext
 auto eth1

And in /etc/wpa_suplicant.conf I have:
  network={
        ssid="speedy"
        psk=_______my_personal_key_______
  }

I have tried killing and manually starting wpa_suplicant, but that did not work either. It just kept failing to associate. I also tried deleting my manual setup and using the hardy network setup, but that didn't work either.
