 switch back to wpa_supplicant it works perfectly.  I did notice,
 however, that intentionally submitting the wrong password with
 wireless-tools has the same effect.

 Can anyone help?

The only time I've run into that problem is when I've used s:somekey
when the router was expecting a 64 bit hex.

[gentoo-user] WPA with wireless-tools
