I reproduced this, too.

If you change line 91 in /usr/lib/network/wireless.subr
from
wpa_supplicant -wB [...]
to
wpa_supplicant -B [...]
it works fine again.

I reproduced this too, managed to get it to connect changing the line to
wpa_supplicant -B -P/var/run/wpa_supplicant_${INTERFACE}.pid -i${INTERFACE} -c$WPA_CONF

@Thomas: I think you forget to move netcfg from testing to core when moving wpa_supplicant.

Same problem here.
Did the same as Simon and it works fine.

I didn't think long enough. I forgot that without this new version, wireless will not work at all. I am very sorry, new netcfg has been moved, enjoy.
