Check with Dan Williams on whether there is anything you can do to help debug WPA; IIRC, this was going to require looking at the packets on the air and figure out what isn't right. The biggest help is what Vint could do: find out exactly what hardware and firmware he's trying to connect to, so that we can easily replicate and test against it. I also don't yet know if his system is up to date; if he's running out of date software, he'll be having many more problems.
