		+	wpa_supplicant 0.6.3-r1 works for me with WPA and WPA2 (with PSK) using the config file template on this page. Unlike the comment above, udhcpc is updating /etc/resolver.conf correctly for me (perhaps this is an old problem).
		+
		+	Bringing up wpa_supplicant manually or using "ifup eth0" with the wpa-conf option set in /etc/network/interfaces works for me. If usb0 was already up when running "ifup eth0" you'll end up with 2 default routes which can cause problems. To solve this either take usb0 down first or run "ip route del default dev usb0" to remove the default route to usb0.
		+
		+	=== July 19, 2008 ===
		+
		+	I've had repeated success with:
		+	# ifconfig eth0 up
		+	# iwconfig eth0 essid any
		+	# iwconfig eth0 key '...'
		+	# iwconfig eth0 essid '...'
		+	# udhcpc eth0
		+	# ifconfig usb0 down; ifconfig usb0 up
		+
		+	Hope that helps someone. This is for WEP.
		+
		+	=== July 26, 2008 ===
		+
		+	I've been able to connect to a variety of networks including WPA2 without too much difficulty.
		+	Follow the above steps in configuring your wpa_supplicant.conf and adding the line to load the supplicant in /etc/network/interfaces.
		+
		+	My sample WPA2 configuration is as follows:
		+	#WPA2
		+	network={
		+	ssid="MY_SSID"
		+	scan_ssid=1
		+	proto=RSN
		+	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
		+	pairwise=CCMP TKIP
		+	group=CCMP TKIP
		+	psk="PASSWORD_PRESHARED_KEY"
		+	priority=50
		+	}
		+
		+	That configuration will allow you to connect to a WPA2-Personal network with TKIP key encryption.
		+
		+	The "ifup eth0" command will connect you via WiFi. If you don't get a lease the first time, try again. Sometimes the configuration is a little too slow and DHCP tries to get a lease before a successful connection to your access point has been established.
		+
		+
		+
		+	The following may be helpful in order to scan available networks :
		+	# iwlist eth0 scan
