THANK YOU! This finally did the trick for me

With TKIP instead of AES.

I have been trying to get WPA working for a week or so now, and this did it. Excellent stuff. The difference seems to be to use pre-up for everything, not set encryption with iwconfig and perhaps TxRate set to 0 (?). If only it was in the wiki... RaConfig and Gnome Network Manager just didn't work for me and seemed to mess each other up as well.

Woo hoo. Now the neighbours can get their own WLAN
