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 do not think that you selected "IEEE802.11i TKIP encryption" under the 
"Generic IEEE802.11 stack" 
when you configured your system. 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.
