FYI I have looked into how Qtopia is using WPA_SUPPLICANT and I don't think that technique will work.
I can get a WPA connection only if I put this in the /etc/networks/interfaces file. iface eth0 inet dhcp wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf The technique of running wpa_supplicant from the command line never worked for me, and that seems to be the technique used by the script. I hope I am wrong, but playing with it just now I never got it to connect, whereas doing a simple ifup eth0 with the above setting in interfaces does work right now.
