I run WPA-PSK-TKIP at home, and I've had experience with Ubuntu Edgy and Fedora Core 6. (with my Atheros-based WNIC)
Edgy worked perfectly OOB. It recognized the card as ath0, it started up NetworkManager, which found my network and asked for the key. Fedora doesn't include madwifi, so I installed it from the Livna repo, rebooted, and had a wifi0. #chkconfig NetworkManager, and $service NetworkManager start were required. Wi-Fi from the command line is too much trouble.
