WPA testing has mostly been done with AP config, as this is what most ppl use. However it worked as a client last time I checked, but something might be broken with it now. I'll retest this ASAP. I just need to find a second client box to test with, I'll report back later. To verify you setup you can do this quite simple, just set it up as a AP and see that you can connect with another client, then just change it to client mode you it should be fine. If it's not then you can try running it manually, from console. If you don't know how to do this then just leave it for now and I'll do some testing.
