Okay. I was hoping that the "no carrier" thing indicated some trivial mistake on my part but since it's WPA2 I'm using I'll post a more elaborate message. It may take a while to gather all the data, commands, output, dmesg greps etc. though.
To be continued,

Did you read the handbook about wireless support. The chapter is very well written. The first thing I would make sure is that you have proper drivers loaded into the kernel. Generic kernel doesn't contain drivers for wpa support. wpa supplicant file looks good.
Other things to notice is that some Wi cards do not support WPA or/and WPA2:-( if I remember correctly. Make sure your WiFi router is in Wi mode. We had people trouble shooting WiFi network for hours just to realize that they use WEP. Do not use WPE unless you set up IPsec or OpenVPN. I would definitely set IPsec even with WAP or WAP2.
You might want to turn off the PF until you configure thins. Other than that much more info is needed to trouble shoot
Best, Predrag
