okay. I've just added some printk's to the driver and I can see that
'iwpriv eth0 set_wpa 1' enables WPA mode, and I can see that the 32-byte
WPA key is sent to the card if I do a normal iwconfig as you suggest.
Essentially I'm doing

iwpriv eth0 set_wpa 1
iwconfig eth0 key <32-byte key in hex> 
iwconfig eth0 essid <network name>

The key matches the one configured on my access point, but alas, it
doesn't work. I'm stuck here for now. If somebody could point out what
I'm missing or how I can debug this, let me know.

Thanks,
Christian.
