can't get wpasupplicant to authenticate against router using wpa-psk

I think I'm having the same problem, but with WPA-RADIUS.  It used to
work now it doesn't at either of the locations I use WPA.

What linux distro and kernel version are you running?  What wireless
card are you using?

I'm running ArchLinux, kernel 2.6.15.4, ipw2915 (kernel's ipw2200
drivers... 1.0.8-git)

Here's some quasi logs... what else can I do to help out to figure out
what the problem is?
