I don't write the profile, because the module can be loaded automatically
at boot. 
I used TKIP in my D-Link Router, so I emerged wpa_supplicant yesterday, 
it works fine. But at Linksys WRT54G which use shared WEP, still cannot 
obtain the IP at boot, then I switch the encryption of WRT54G to TKIP, it
got
the address... Now I think there may be some issue at the WEP connection 
initial stage, so at last, this card works fine for me. Thank you very much.

Hmm, isn't that WEP only (not sure)?

Here's mine:

modules=( "wpa_supplicant" "dhcpcd" )
wpa_supplicant_ath0="-Dmadwifi"
wpa_timeout_ath0=60
essid_ath0="<my_network_name>"
config_<my_network_name>=( "dhcp" )
key_<my_network_name>="s:<my_wpa_key>"

And finally, my wpa_supplicant.conf:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
# ap_scan=2 was the one for me you may try 0 or 1 indstead of 2 ap_scan=0
fast_reauth=1

network={
        ssid="<my_network_name>"
        proto=WPA
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=TKIP
        group=TKIP
        psk="<my_wpa_key>"
}

Of course, you need to emerge wpa_supplicant.

HTH...
