Yes. I tested again on another laptop with build in WiFi with which WPA + 
WPA2 worked fine. I could get the stick there to work with WPA. Then in 
the old laptop again and now it works there with WPA. I tried to hot-plug 
there (remove PCMCIA WiFi-card, plugin Linksys stick), but that did not 
work, I had to reboot the laptop. But that is good enough for me. I will 
follow this bug out of interest, but as far as I'm concerned it is 
resolved now.
