I use the stuff in a different way (mostly manually).
For example:
Step 1)
ifconfig wlan0 up
Wait a little and check:
ifconfig wlan0 list scan
If there's no SSID listed, wait until one comes up.
Step 2)
wpa_supplicant -d -d -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa-psk.conf
with /etc/wpa-psk.conf:
-----------
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
# home network; allow all valid ciphers
network={
ssid="correct-ssid"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="correct-psk"
}
-----------
Step 3)
dhclient wlan0
Now one should be able to connect to the wlan.

First wpa_supp*, then dhclient. wpa* provides the crypto so that
dhclient gets the DHCP packets.

Well, that's a start.
