sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo dhclient -r wlan0
sudo wpa_supplicant -w -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd
The output in this window will likely not stop
Stop with Cntl-C when need be but run commands in Window#2 while output is going in Window#1
Window #2:
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
sudo dhclient wlan0
Output for this method was the same as my last post where I added -Bw.Ended in:
Code:
No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

Scan the output (dmesg | more -- use spacebar to get next page) and look for wlan0 or something about your network card. Make sure you see specifically that wpa is supported by your wireless driver, and there are no errors associated with your card -- read carefully -- they are easy to miss).
Here's what I found:
Code:

[ 208.955590] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready
