After booting, if I killed supplicant (as root), then manually called it as root, supplicant would authorized and connect just fine. So, I gave up on trying to get wireless to come up at boot and just reconfigured back to "allow-hotplug", left the dongle unplugged, booted, then plugged it in and it connected. I tried a dozen variations after that with cold starts in between, but that's the only one that worked. Thanks for your advice. B
