Yes, bcm43xx-mac80211 supports WPA. I don't know about the system freeze, but most problems in associating and authenticating with mac80211 are due to low signal strengths. The driver is improving, but still has problems. > I've also tried with the bcm43xx (and a V3 firmware), but that doesn't > seem to recognise the card at all.

The message here is "ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'TKIP'". I am assuming that wpa_supplicant is available and started by NetworkManager. That is what happens on my system.
