I also don't know what's the best way to measure CPU usage from kernel driver point of view. >> That's a user space decision and depends on what connection manager you >> use. > > That's the weird part, for some reason I can't get it to force-connect > via WPA2-PSK.

It's much more reliable to use wpasupplicant directly and you get full control. I usually create a custom config file and then start the supplicant manually.
