problem connecting in WPA mode

I know very little about any of this, but after many hours of
debugging, I finally got my adapter to connect, but only with
the network completely open (not in WPA mode).

When I try WPA mode, I get the following (using -ddd):

First, the initial setup:

'N/A' bridge 'N/A'

Finally, shutting it down give this (probably not relevant):

No doubt I have missed something obvious, but I would
appreciate if someone could point it out to me. Thank
you in advance for your replies.
