I just realized the WIFI-N-USB wiki page says what I need to do. Even after
installing a newer version of wpa_supplicant I was pointing to an older
version. After doing the following as described in the wiki I was able to get
this working.
http://wiki.embeddedarm.com/wiki/WIFI-N-USB
4.3.1.2 Corrective Action
The solution is to install the Debian version of `wpa_supplicant` and use that
for configuring WPA. In order to install the new wpa_supplicant, perform the
following steps:
mv /usr/local/bin/wpa_supplicant /usr/local/bin/wpa_supplicant.old
apt-get update && apt-get install wpasupplicant #This assumes a proper internet
connection is established
# reset the shell to find the new wpa_supplicant
exec bash
# Verify that it is the correct version:
wpa_supplicant -v
It should return at least 0.6.4 as the version number
