Yep.  It's a bit of a rigmarole by hand.  Use

wpa_passphrase SSID >/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

(where SSID is your WPA network name) and then type your WPA shared key
and hit enter.

Then edit

vi /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant

to this

INTERFACES="-iwlan0"
DRIVERS="-Dwext"

then

service wpa_supplicant start

you can monitor progress with

iwevent

apparently but I usually use

dmesg | less

repeatedly.  Once it's associated, you need to give the interface an IP
by dhclient or directly by ifconfig.
