Well, sadly, it seems like wpa_supplicant is currently broken, see:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/thread2.html#000565

I am seeing the same symptoms here with wpi and ral (with a USB
adapter), and when the thing breaks it actually also blocks anyone else
from accessing the network.

I have two wi cards here, however I only go as far as:
wi0 at pcmcia0 function 0: <Intersil, PRISM Freedom PCMCIA Adapter,
ISL37100P, E
val-RevA>
wi0:wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
wi0: init failed
wi0: failed to attach controller

or:

Feb 12 20:10:56 syn /netbsd: wi0: init failed
Feb 12 20:10:56 syn /netbsd: wi0: failed to attach controller

Both cards seem to work fine on my Zaurus (Linux and OpenBSD, WPA
untested) and Windows on my machine, a T60 2007 (with WPA).

This is with NetBSD/amd64 4.99.54.

HTH,
