I generated a 64-bit version of Linus's current mainline tree. The results for 
carious commands are as follows:

As you can see, my system connected to a WPA2-encrypted network running 3.9-rc1 
from the mainline tree. I do not know what problem you are having, but I cannot 
reproduce it. My USB ID is different, but the chip is the same.
