Atheros 5212 and WPA issues

Hello,

I'm trying to get my Atheros 5212 (mini-PCI) working under Gentoo Linux (kernel 2.6.7) with 
WPA. Either AES or TKIP (what is the 'best' and/or most secure option?).

All drivers are compiled (got CVS-version), and successfully load:

wlan: 0.8.4.2 (EXPERIMENTAL)
ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel.
ath_hal: 0.9.11.6
ath_pci: 0.9.4.0 (EXPERIMENTAL)

I can successfully use it with WEP-encryption, but I just can't get 
WPA to work. I've attached wpa_supplicant output. (Note that there are
more WLAN's configured here... the correct one is 'WIDEXS') 
(AP is currently in WPA-PSK mode with TKIP).

Anyone who has this baby working ?
Also, my AccessPoint is a Buffalo WLA-G54 (www.buffalotech.com)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Kind regards,
