Yes.  The libertas driver doesn't support WPA yet, which means playing
with wpa_supplicant is pretty useless.  The original driver supported
it, but only though private ioctls which are quite evil and were
removed.

I did actually work on this over the weekend and committed my patches to
libertas git.

wpa_supplicant will now associate and complete the 4-way handshake [1],
but traffic does not pass for reasons I've not yet figured out.  It may
be that the GTK isn't being installed correctly, or something else.
It'd take an 802.11 frame sniffer to figure out, probably.
