If I remember correctly, I think there were major changes to kernel wireless infrastructure introduced in 2.6.30. And in wpa_supplicant some changes had to be made for some people, like changing the driver (in my case from -Dmadwifi to -Dwext). Sorry I'm not familiar with your particular driver but I know there were major changes in general around that time. You may also need to emerge net-wireless/iw if you don't have it already. In the crypto/cipher section of the kernel I've found it easiest to just build all of them as modules and then they're available if needed.
