The problem is not that WPA does not work. It works for my WM6 client (who connects with or without WPA from some 2nd or 3rd attempt but cannot browse anything anyway even without encryption) but does not work for WM5 client (who can browse but only when it connects and it only connects with WPA disabled). Not sure which component to blame here. Both devices work so nicely with WPA with hardware wireless router :) I guess I'll just wait for future versions of driver and kernel and keep upgrading hoping that it'll start working.
