I am having the same issue. However, everything does work on startup and
continues to work until calling wpa_supplicant manually or ifdown.
Additionally, it can be 'fixed' by removing the driver module (I'm using
b43) and re-inserting it, then running /etc/init.d/networking restart.
While it is 'working', iwlist scanning returns nothing. I'm also
attaching the results from running wpa_supplicant -ddd. It seems to me
that it isn't necessarily an issue in WPA but in the driver (at least in
my case), as it is failing to get anything from an AP scan. Hope that
helps someone!
Cheers,
Christopher
