I've got the same problem with Netgear USB dongle WG111v3. I couldn't connect with WPA encryption in 2.6.24, but connected fine with 2.6.22 kernel. Someone on a Google-group found out a solution, which works for me. He changed the nice value of wpa-supplicant-daemon to the lowest possible 19.

I don't know why this works, but it does for me. Unfortunately i can't use WICD any more, because on every connect it will restart the wpa-daemon with the default nice value 0. So i'm back to the basic wpa-supplicant.conf version.
