I use wpa_supplicant at home with wpa-psk, madwifi, and ndiswrapper,
config looks just a little bit simpler:

# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
ssid="xxxxx"
psk="xxxxxxxxxxx"
priority=5
}

IIRC the priority bit isn't necessary either. Also, I've upgraded my
wireless-tools package to version 28.pre13. There's a package of version
28 at

Note that I'm only going on differences between config-files, not on
good knowledge of wpa_supplicant. But it can't hurt to try :-)
