I made a patch to put wpa_supplicant support into the new initscripts that just came out. I had made a patch for the version in testing a while ago and posted it on the forum and filed a bug report hoping that support for wpa would be added to the new release. The attached patch applies to /usr/bin/netcfg that came with initscripts 0.7.1-1. Then add WPAOPTS="" into your network profile to start wpa_supplicant. You can also specify a driver for supplicant to use if you have compiled it with more then one. ie WPAOPTS="-D madwifi".
