I've tried using the same wpa_supplicant config as in the wiki on my 
WPA1 network. No success so far.

Hm. Graphical tools don't seem to work any better than the command line 
for me.

WICD says "Validating authentication..." for a minutue and then falls 
back to "Not connected".

NetworkManager doesn't even see the device (although the module is 
loaded and ra0 shows up in "ifconfig")

Thanks for your help. I'll keep digging and report any findings.
