Pavel,

WPA2 will never work on FullMAC chipsets as the cards and firmware do
not support it. These cards are only WPA Version 1 capable. We just
recently committed some WPA work for Access Point mode. All this work
just needs to be tested. WPA STA (client) support has been committed but
does not work yet. There are some final minor tweaks that needs to be
done.
