Does that mean you expect the Atheros Driver to cope with WPA w/o
wpa_supplicant? What makes you think it can?

Are you by chance just setting your WPA key as a WEP key? If
interpreted as WEP key string, it has exactly 64 bits.

You're only configuring the card for WEP encryption.

Probably not. Just missing wpa_supplicant.

Misconfiguration on both ends leading to »fine compatibility« (i.e.
WEP64 on both ends)?

I'm not sure what you tell you were trying here.
